Scar Reduction: Can Human Growth Hormones help reduce scaring from a breast lift and augmentation?

August 26, 2015
Asked By:Lolo2012 in Canada, KY

I'm getting a breast lift and augmentation, I've met with a Plastic Surgeon already. I really only wanted an augmentation but need a lift too because of a recent weight loss. I've seen pictures of the scars from the breast lifts and i find them very apparent in most pictures. My Surgeon reassured me that the scars would heal to a thin white line, but I'm still concerned. If I take Human Growth Hormones for a short period before the surgery and during the recovery, will this help reduce scaring?
