Scar Revision / Re-positioning and/or Infra-mammary Fold Elevation? (photos)

December 18, 2015
Asked By:AngelEyes281 in Houston, TX

6 wks post UBL, explantation of 670cc's, (36FF to 36DD/D), I have good nipple sensitivity, my infra-mammary scars are high & my nipples are high too. I am still early in the healing process and I have no unreasonable expectations. I have discussed with my surgeon that at the 6 mo mark we begin "scar revision" in office with a local to "lower the nipples and the scars". Are we talking about just stretching my skin lower thus pulling the nipples down as well, or do I need a fold elevation?
