How does PMS breast swelling affect scars?

Vega637
Hello. I have been wondering how the monthly pms and swelling of breasts affect scars healing from a breast lift. My breasts increase around half to a full cup size around 7 days before my period (I can still fit into my normal bras but they are noticeably fuller). Will this have a negative effect on how scars heal? I can't imagine it's good to have this swelling return each month and fear it would result in wide, ugly scars.
