I had my breast augmentation 9 weeks ago today and i was just wondering if this is what scars are supposed to look like this far down the line and if it's too soon to start using bio oil on them
Answer: Breast enlargment scars Your scars are settling normally as they should. They are also nicely placed in your infra mammary fold. They will continue to be pink for some time. As the scar matures, the pink colour will fade out of them and they will appear to be paler. It can take almost a year for the scars to fully mature. You should be massaging your scars and you certainly can used Bio oil on them.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Scar Care Thank you for your question. I instruct all of my patients to perform daily scar massage and apply a silicone based scar ointment or tape to their incisions. Biocorneum makes an excellent product. Your incisions appear to be healing well. Please ask your board certified plastic surgeon for specific instructions regarding his or her scar management protocol. Hope this helps.

Answer: Are My Breast Augmentation Scars Looking Okay? #breastaugmentation Your scars are still fairly red, but at nine weeks post-operatively, this is oftentimes seen. I would definitely recommend keeping in touch with your plastic surgeon. He/she can keep an eye on them, and if it appears that they are becoming hypertrophic, he/she can inject a steroid into the scars to help them. Hypertrophic scars is what we call scars that become thickened and elevated. Over the next several months, your scars will begin to fade, and should become a fine white line. Thanks for sharing!
