Breast lift doubts. Will I get any keloids if I have this procedure? (Photo)

Dear Kat Leo,
for scars, I close all of my incisions in 5 layers and do not use absorbable sutures because they cause inflammation and worse scarring. I tape all of my incisions in the office visits once a week for six weeks after surgery to improve the appearance. After taping, I start my patients on a scar gel therapy for 3 months that they have to put on their incisions twice daily.You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon as different surgeons have different approaches in scar management.

Yes, you are at risk for keloids from the incisions. Please discuss this with your surgeon during the consult.
