Is It effective/safe to use a microroller on anchor lift scars? (photo)

DallTx87May 9, 2017
I had a breast lift w/implants 8 months ago. There was a split in the junction under my right breast that caused a large scar to develop. My PS plans to remove it next month. I don't have any issues on my left breast other than a noticeably raised scar line, much bigger than the scar line on my right. I have used a .05 micro roller on the left breast scar with vitaminE oil a few times & I believe that has helped it go down. Can I continue doing this?

And it truly is every patient and surgeon's nightmare... but if your surgeon is board certified, there is nothing else to really do at this point.  It helps that your implants are under the muscle but it doesn't guarantee any outcome.  Let your surgeon guide you through your recovery from this a...
