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

Question

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??

I am sorry to see that you develop blisters after your breast lift and augmentation.  NeckUsually these superficial blisters heal uneventfully without a mark.  However  in darker skin patients they can leave a quite marked.  In fair skin patients they can become pigmented and brownish in color a condition called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.Once the new pink skin is present and the blisters are no longer wet topical steroid cream can be helpful in reducing inflammation, however you must check with your plastic surgeon to see if he or she feels it is safe for you to use a topical steroid.
