I have used silicone gel, sheets (Embrace Scar Therapy), and self massage. Not going away! Doc now wants $250 to do laser treatment. Already spent over $11,000!!!

Answer: Post op breast lift red scars it takes six months to 2 years for scars to mature and the redness to disappear. Silage is the silicone gel I prefer my patients to use. Silicone sheets are good for raised scars to control flatness. LASER may help, I don't use it for redness.

Answer: Scar treatment Thanks for your question and the photo. The photo doesn't come through as "awful scarring" but may look worse in person. One potential downside to combining a lift and an implant at the same time is that internal pressure from the implant will cause less favorable scarring. That's one reason I don't like large implants in this scenario. That said, scarring is multifactorial and there is a large genetic component. If you are unhappy with your scars and want additional treatment, then you will have to pay something to try and lessen their appearance. Laser treatment and microneedling are certainly options. Best of Luck!
