Asked By:Optimistic649285 in England, United Kingdom

Hello I had a breast lift nearly a year now and I’ve visited the surgeon and they keep telling me to put scar gel on the bumps around my arieola - it’s not working, they are extremely painful, hard to touch and really sensitive to certain types of fabrics…I don’t know what to do…will this get better, they just look so unnatural! And I’m starting to regret this breast lift!
