I just had an implant removal 6 days ago. My ps said he fixed the left fold because my implant was bottoming out , but I still see the incision and not hiding in the fold. I am going to see him in two days to take out stitches.
Answer: Breast implant removal You are early in the recovery process so you can expect more changes ahead. The scars will fade over time, but it can take up to a year for them to fully mature. Your surgeon will be able to provide more information on what you can expect at your follow up appointment as he is most familiar with the details of your procedure.

Answer: Breast implant removal hello therealme20017 As mentioned previously, incisions can take up to one year or longer to fade. While they will not fade completely, they should be acceptable after a period of time. Initially the may look crusty, red, raised and possibly uneven. Don’t be alarmed – remind yourself to be patient through the healing process.After 8-12 months, the scars are relatively inconspicuous. If you would like to discuss the option of using a scar healing ointment such as BioCorneum®, please contact our office to purchase. #options #post-op

Answer: Will my skin shrink more and the scar will fade in the fold? I hope Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. I do think that your skin will shrink further from its current appearance but I do not think that the scar will end up hiding in the newly created crease. Your surgeon will be able to discuss with you options at improving your scar quality and appearance but it takes a year or longer for most scar results to mature. hang in there!

Answer: Will my skin shrink more and the scar will fade in the fold? I hope Scars will improve over the course of a year. Silicone sheeting is a reasonable option and has been used for scar therapy. I recommend that the scar therapy begin after the scars have healed and there are no open areas, which usually takes four to six weeks. Ask your PS what he/she recommends.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
