How to best treat adhered breast lift scar? (Photo)

Question

I am a 40 yo F, and had a breast lift without implants about 6 weeks ago. My R breast suddenly developed a contracted scar about 3 weeks ago, and when I called my surgeon they said to do scar massage and f/u in October. I am not seeing much change, and am wondering if there is something else I should do or treatment I should pursue? Other than this my experience has been great.

Our HIDEF protocol is ideal to help reduce scar tethering and inflammation in your keloid scars. I would begin with LAD of corticosteroids and Vbeam laser. Always defer to an expert for your skin type.

Dear Pioneering432984,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
