Should I Be Concerned if I Have Thin Red Lines Around my Areola After BA? (photo)

June 11, 2013
Asked By:xoxo_07

Hello I had a breast augmentation three months ago (Allergan soft touch 205 g) and I've recently noticed I have thin red lines around my areola. I am not sure if these are stretch marks or something else. I have been using cocoa butter with cetesomate-E complex to help my incision heal and to treat the lines. Is there something else I should be using or doing? I am also unsatisfied with the way my incision looks. Is there something I can do to help the healing process? Thank you in advance!
