Ok, had breast lift 7 mo ago, one of my anchor incisions was too high on the breast, went in for revision 8 days ago. Now it appears my incision is to low and not in the fold. It also appears I have yet ANOTHER dog ear as a result. What are your thoughts?

Answer: Timing for scar revision The key to a good scar is meticulous closure and patience. Your new scar has begun the entire healing process all over again. It's normal for scars to become pink and puffy as your body is mending itself. I wouldn't consider another revision for at least six months, but preferably a year, if it's necessary. Make sure you address your concerns with your surgeon, just like you did before, and listen to their advice.

Answer: Way too soon Thank you for your question. It's a bit too soon to tell exactly how things will settle. I would follow the advice of your Plastic Surgeon and give it time - you'd be surprised how things settle in 3-6 months. Any remaining dog ears can be addressed then, likely under local. But give it a bit of time. Best of luck!
