Hello, I had a significant breast reduction and revision in 2015, went from a H to a C which resulted in some bad scarring, loss of nipple sensation and quite a bit of fat necrosis in my right breast. (Doctor confirmed it was fat necrosis by multiple ultrasounds) I am looking to get the fat necrosis removed and perhaps a scar revision. What the procedure process would be on getting the fat necrosis removed since it is large in size and will OHIP cover some of the cost? Thanks in advance!
I had my breast reduction five weeks ago. At week two I noticed the beginning of some splitting in the incisions. Now these wounds are completely open, no bleeding anymore and some brownish discharge still. I've been using wet gauze every day, but I am worried about how slowly they're healing. I am a non smoker. I am also worried about excessive scarring. Will I need a scar revision?
The scars are 25 years old as the surgery was done when i was 16 and they reach from my cleavage, under the bra crease and the tissue actually folds in on itself at the side of my breast. I'm in the Toronto area.
My reduction was done two years ago and I went from a G to a DD. After my breast reduction, I asked the doctors office about the scars (raised and widening) and got tired old: They'll lightenup and flatten out. . I have a raised scar and the aerola is stretched. The vertical scars are discolored and stretched. I think they look chewed up and awful. I don't want to see the original surgeon as the trust is gone. Is there anything I can do? I feel so disfigured.
I had a breast reduction when I was 15 years old. I am now 32 years old. I had it done at such a young age because the weight of mu breasts at the time had me hunched over with back pain constantly. I was told that there would be scarring initially but it would heal. I used to have two vertical scars on both breasts but now I only have it on one. My plastic surgeon died a year after he did my surgery from a heart attack so I cannot see him. I just want to know how to get rid of these scars. So depressing!
I had a reduction from a GG to D 2years ago. Scars at first were thin lines, hidden under the breast. Over time they have thickened, mainly on the inner chest and are painful when not wearing a bra. The anchor coming down from the nipple also has a purple area that has spread outwards. My main problem area is the scars on the inner chest as they are visible when wearing certain tops and bikinis. That may sound superficial but they are giving me as much of a complex as when I had bigger breasts.
I have had an unfavourable result following a breast reduction - the side of my breast mound isnt curved like a natural breast would be, but instead turns into a strange fold of flab. While the reduction looks great front on, the side view is disappointing., I have a BMI of 26, and had 460g +150g removed. I have 1 child. My surgeon suggests a scar revision to fix this; the anchor scar I have under my breasts is straight and doesnt curve. Will a newly created curved high scar get better results?
I had a breast reduction 8 years ago. Would you recommend a further revision? i plan to get the scars revised but what else would you do to make them look better? Thanks
to note, the left breast was swollen hard and fluid filled and took 2 weeks longer to have its drain removed and the areola's skin surface turned black but there was blood supply. it took time to have its color come back. definitely no sensation on that nipple and very little on the right, which isn't a big deal as i had lost a lot of sensation after my first surgery. wondering if scar therapy is a waste of time or if it will help the next surgery.
Interested in the best method to revise/remove post surgical scars. Feel like cords and are itchy and painful. My areola which separated during the healing phase are now jagged around the edges and look disfigured. The right areola feels like there is more breast tissue inside of it, while the one on the left looks and feels flat. Is there anything that can be done to correct this and if so what is the best route to take. I've used the recommended scar creams. Thank you!
