November 21, 2016
Asked By:Leah059 in La Celle-sous-Gouzon, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
Left breast has rounded out fine, but the ride breast on the fold/incision site the area is tight and appears to be being pulled in/upwards, thus not allowing the implant to round out properly, the incision scar feels more bumpy when pressed too whilst left scar is smoother, will my skin stretch with time to allow to round out? I'm 11 weeks post ba Thanks

I would not panic as this may be normal. Patients start doing more activities after the 3rd week and start having more pain. You should speak directly to your plastic surgeon so you can get in earlier and have your concerns attended to.
Two weeks post-operative is way too soon to consider your result final. In most cases, it takes at least several months for the tissues to adapt. Imagine if you were suddenly 9 months pregnant, your skin would not be able to adjust to the size that quickly. Give your body some time to adjust...
The best product on the market is Embrace advanced scar therapy. Ideally, you would start it a week or two after surgery. It is a weekly tension loaded adhesive silicone sheet scar dressing you change once a week for eight weeks for a lifetime of improvement.
