I had a lift 6 months ago and need to get scar recision. They are extremely visable and restrict me from wearing many of the things I got this done to wear in the first place. The incisions under the breast look very high to me. Is that normal? The Dr has said this is how my body unfortunately healed but I would love a second opinion as I sadly regret ever doing this.
Answer: Conservative scar treatments may be most beneficial. Thank you for your photos. From your photos it appears that you have excellent breast shape and contour with your nipple/areola in the correct position. Your incision lines look hypertrophic. As your incisions became hypertrophic after your original surgery, there’s a higher likelihood that they would do so after revision of the incisions. If you were to have a revision, it would be imperative that you begin treatment with some silicone sheeting directly on the scars to suppress your tendency to form the hypertrophic scars. EMBRACE is one such silicone sheeting product. It is not a guarantee that you won’t have more prominent scars, but it does help to suppress them as much as possible. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
