are there any pictures out there to show me the scarring patterns of A people who like me keloid after having a breast lift. I keloid and want to have a breast lift. I am having my implants removed and would like to do to a lift at the same time. But would really like to see scarring of those who did keloid after a lift. I've seen 3 PS that say they will inject steroid to the incision to minimize scarring. I know it's a risk. I'm a little scared at 65 yrs olds.

Answer: Keloid scarring in breast surgery Hi there. Your concerns are totally understandable. keloid scar development in breast augmentation is unlikely even in patients with a predisposition. However, the risk is much greater in breast lift surgery as the scars are much more extensive. True keloids are very difficult to treat. Steroid injections are the best available treatment but only temper the scars rather than cute them. Scars are permanent so you need to weight up the risks vs benefit very carefully! Good luck.

Answer: BREAST LIFT AND KELOID SCARS If you already have a scar, then the scars from the breast lift may look similar to them, the location of the scars may be like and anchor, and usually at your age there is much less scarring and even in the event of some hypertrophic scar formation, you can get some steroid njections to make the scar less thick.
