Severe stretch marks after breast augmentation (Photos)

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Whether or not a patient develops stretch marks following breast augmentation depends on a number of individual factors. The most important of these elements are the patient’s predisposition toward developing stretch marks, the size of the implant used in the procedure (larger implants cause greater skin stretch) and the techniques used during the augmentation procedure itself. A large implant can cause the skin to be pulled quite tightly. Red stretch marks tend to change to a much lighter shade after 6 months or so. You may try moisturising lotion to keep the skin healthy and soft. All the best

Stretch marks are essentially fractures of the dermis, the deeper layer of skin. Their appearance can be improved with two modalities. IPL (intense pulsed light) will improve the purple color and Blanche them. An Erbium laser will make them narrower and more like fine lines.I recommend you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. If he or she does not offer these services, I recommend you seek a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can evaluate and treat you. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your stretch mark formation.  Because we do not have an opportunity to review your before photographs I would recommend seeing your surgeon for an in-person evaluation and discussion of possible laser treatments to help with the redness of your stretch marks.  Hope this helps.
