Any advice on blisters caused by surgical tape post Breast Augmentation? (photos)

April 28, 2014
Asked By:Ocbabe89

So as it is I have extremely sensitive skin. I had a lift with implants done 2 weeks ago and after surgery I noticed blisters where the surgical tape once was. We'll most of the blisters have dried up and fell off on there own but I'm left with little marks on my chest where they once were:( I'm scared they will leave a scar . Is there any thing I could do to prevent that? Will the skin just grow back with out leaving a scar??

Age 17. Will my breasts ever get bigger?
Jerome Edelstein, MD says:

Your breasts may continue to grow, however losing so much weight may unfortunately has had a negative effect on their shape and size. Sagging tends to get worse with age and further weight fluctuations. Keep in mind that if your breasts do get bigger, they may get saggier as well.
