Is it possible to have this hypertrophic scar also removed during a breast lift? I hate it and is the result of an infection I got while breast feeding.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. It is possible that this hypertrophic scar can be excised or removed completely. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Removal depends upon scars position. The position of the pattern for a breast lift drawn on your skin, would determine whether your hypertrophic scar could be removed at the time of your breast lift. If your scar was inside the pattern of the breast lift where the skin is removed, that scar would be removed with the skin. If that scars outside the pattern, it would not be removed. It’s very difficult, if not impossible, to halt through the pattern for a breast lift Without adversely affecting the appearance of the breast. Another concern is that, if you have already formed one hypertrophic scar on your breast, the possibilities of you forming another one with a breast lift are higher. Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon.
