I’m interested in a breast lift but have had an isolated incident that resulted in a hypertrophic scar on my back. All of my other scars appear normal. Should I be concerned about developing hypertrophic scars after a breast lift?
Answer: Hypertrophic scars Hello, thank you for your question. Its ok to proceed with surgery but you are just at higher risk of hypertrophic scar. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns and possible solutions.

Answer: After a breast lift, scars can be treated with laser treatments to minimize appearance Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The closure of the scar around the areola is very fine with very little tension. This heals with minimal scarring. The other scar is hidden near or in the inframammary or the shadow of the breast.

Answer: History of hypertrophic scar Thanks for your inquiry, having a history of hypertrophic scarring should concern you--however the conditions, location and technique of repair of your back scar may contribute to that result. Your plastic surgeon will also have probably recommend advanced scar reduction products, good luck.
