Please give me your expert opinion on my scars. At times I feel as though they are healing nicely then I look at my nipples and they are such odd shaped. Will I improve more as time goes by? I had my surgery on 3.9.11, breast lift with 375cc HP implants. As you can see by the pictures my right breast has not dropped as much as my left, I am a bit worried about that due to when I work out, my right breast moves a lot more when I am lifting. (only 5 or 8 lb weights)

Answer: Vbeam combined with Plato's scar serum twice daily to help improve appearance of the scar Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Answer: Scars following a breast augmentation and lift Thanks so much for your question! From your photos, I think that you are looking great. You are certainly within normal limits to be so early in the healing process. I recommend my patients to use a silicone gel twice a day to see the best results. Follow up with your plastic surgeon to ensure everything is healing correctly. Best of luck!

Answer: Scars post op Your scars look great and seem to be healing perfectly. If you are right handed it may explain why one breast is still sitting higher then the other due to your muscle dominancy. Follow your surgeons instructions as to what type of support bra you should be wearing and any massages they would like you doing. It takes several months for the final result. Warm regards,

Answer: How long do breast lift scars take to heal? #scar Being that you are only 8 weeks post op, your healing seems to be going well. Healing tissue when you read a basic physiology text, takes up to 2 years to complete the process. While we may inform patients you will be healed in less time, you may notice that scars look better and better as time goes on. At eight weeks, it is a very dynamic process and you may notice one breast looks better than the other and vise versa. It's way too early to make any judgement call on your over all scar appearance. I would be patient for the time being and continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon at your scheduled appointments.
