I had 300cc high profile implants 14 weeks ago (3 and a half months) I hare my scars! When i wear a bra i can still see them as they are very wide...and red. I have been massaging bio-oil on every morning and night for 1-2 minutes? Should i be using something different? Also, do my boobs look normal for this stage? I've started sleeping on my side, is this ok? I haven't been massaging my breasts much either but worried that maybe i should, do you think at this stage post op it's beneficial?
Answer: Wait on your body to heal the area before you consider a scar revision Thank you for your question, and images.Based on the narrative, and images provided you seem to be healing very well.Please remain patient, massage your scars (confirm this with your surgeon), and allow your body to fully heal. For a more predictable result, I typically do scar revisions once all the scar tissue is soft, supple, and non tender. I hope this helps, Sergio Pasquale Maggi, MD, FACSdrmaggi.com

CONTACT NOW Answer: Vbeam treatments combined with applying Plato's scar serum twice daily to scars Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.
