Hi I've had three gyno ops. Seems I'm prone to scarring.I still have a small disc of scar tissue under each nipple. Size is maybe about 1cm by 1cm. I won't be having surgery again but I have spoken to some private doctors who advised they could do injections to help with the scar tissue. As a guide how much Mg/Ml would they use per nipple? I need a rough idea as I wouldn't want a dangerous amount injected and would like an independent opinion based.on the size stated. Many thanks

Answer: Cortisone for post gynecomastia scarring? A judicious dose of steroid deep into the area of firmness can be helpful in differentiating thickened scar tissue from retained fibroglandular tissue. The amount injected will vary based on the area of firmness and the patient's response to injection. It is important that conservative amounts of steroid be injected and done so deeply into the retained mass to minimize the risk of subcutaneous atrophy and skin changes. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in gynecomastia treatment.

Answer: What dose of kenalog From what you're describing, rather than scar in my opinion, this is retained fibroglandular retro areolar breast tissue and can only be removed by surgical excision. Placing a depository steroid in this location will only thin the overlying skin and not melt away the breast gland tissue.
