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: 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
