Hi, I have poor skin elasticity and I am getting a breast uplift with implants in a couple months. I am wondering if I should be taking any particular supplements that will help my recovery any better as well as helping my scars fade and heal quicker. And does too much collagen cause keloid scaring? Thank you

Answer: Bellesoma Method If you are concerned about skin elasticity and scarring then you may want to consider an alternative called The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast augmentation with mastopexy I don't believe that supplements would prevent bottoming out or stretch of the skin envelope after augmentation/mastopexy. I'd consider using a mesh product to support the breast like Durasorb or Galaflex: internal bra
