Raised breast augmentation scars 5 months after surgery (Photo)

You do have raised, hypertrophic scarring of your incision. At 5 months you may improve some more over time, but you may actually worsen as well. At this point, there is nothing wrong with trying some localized steroid injections and silicone tape to help reduce the scar thickness. If that makes things much better than you are done, otherwise, consider scar revision with aggressive post op scar management after you get to 1 year post BBA. Good luck.  

Hello,Yes, you do demonstrate some hypertrophic scarring. I advise silicone sheeting to be applied for 4-6 months post op for many of my patients because it seems to be the most effective for raised, red scars.  You could try and see if this is effective for you. I recommend that you see your plastic surgeon and ask them what they advise. All the best 

At 5 months you are about 83 percent settled, softened, shaped, and healed. The incisions can take anywhere from one to two years before you know the final result. When concerned though, always best to check in with your surgeon to see if there is anything that can be done to help healing during this time period.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
