I am Asian and have been told that Asian skin could scar more from breast implants. Is this true, and is there any way to prevent bad scars? I am interested in getting the silicone gel implants under the breast fold.

Answer: Minimizing breast implant augmentation or enlargement scars in Asians Unfortunately, genetic tendencies result in Asians having a reportedly sixfold greater tendency to develop keloid scars when compared to caucasians. Despite the best of techniques, prevention may be impossible. Use of an immediate intra-areolar scar can dramatically reduce this tendency but there may be other reasons why surgeons prefer the use of a fold scar when placing silicone implants due to concerns with biofilm formation as well as limited size of the areola
