I am 10 mos post op. Benelli lift with implants. I have perm sutures. My doc told me this would prevent spread. However I am 10 mos post op and my scars continue to spread on right side. My doc has examined me and says rt side suture is still intact. So why is this happening? What should I do? Scars are spreading up! Just for the record it was doc who recommended this lift due to my tuberous a cups to start, it was not my suggestion !!!!!
