Do breast lift scars fade nicely?

For the majority of patients breast lift scars heal very nicely. Over time they may be hard to see! There are ways to help scars heal favorably including silicone sheeting and other scar therapies. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Dear boymama20,
I understand you are concerned with the appearance of scars. As your scars heal, it should flatten out and lighten. Loss of pigmentation or hyperpigmentation may also be experienced but will resolve over time. Always follow your surgeon's post operative care instructions when it comes to scar management to avoid any complications like infection and for faster healing and recovery.

Your question is a very common concern for most breast lift patients. The healing of incisions can vary from patient to patient. Some people are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scars. I would advise you to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and expectations. You should discuss with your surgeon what is their preferred scar treatment protocol. It is ideal to avoid sun exposure to incisions as well as use a silicone based scar cream to incisions for the first 6 months to a year. Best of luck to you!
