Collagen after breast augmentation, increase in scar tissue?

May 10, 2019
Asked By:Reserved6023 in Cincinnati, OH

I’ve wanted to start collagen supplements (for reasons unrelated to surgery) but now that I’m 2 weeks post op BA and am researching how to decrease appearance of the incision scar in my inframammary fold, I’m nervous that too much collagen will cause too much scar tissue and keep the incision raised instead of repairing them. If I can’t take it now, when can I? Thanks!!
