Scar from MRSA infection - Can this be addressed during a breast lift? (photo)

January 3, 2025
Asked By:JordanHeir in Charlotte, North Carolina

I have a deep scar (about 2 yrs old) from a MRSA infection that occurred after my child's birth. It got out of control because we thought it was a swollen breast duct. By the time I went to urgent care, there was necrosis and I waited for lab results in order get the correct antibiotics. I had to be seen by a new doctor to address the infection and damaged skin. He cauterized it and now this terrible scar is on my left breast. Can this be addressed during a breast lift?
