What can I do about one of my inframammary scars that is sitting too high on top of the breast fold? (Photos)

Dear Annamey,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 2 weeks  post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Anna. I appreciate your concern, but there are several factors involved here. First off, at this early stage in your recovery, there is still swelling and the implants need to settle. This can certainly affect the location of your scar and it may lower itself closer to the fold witn time. Also, it takes a full year for scars to mature and they often look red and angry in the early stage. Ask your surgeon about appropriate scar care, massage the scar with moisturizer and use silicone gel strips.Try to stay patient and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
