Hypertrophic scar after C section, planning BA (Photo)

Dear arua,
we specialize in minimal scars. Its starts with a peri-areolar incision that hides the scar at the border of the areola. Next, I close my incisions in 5 layers and take stitches out week one and week two. I don't recommend absorbable sutures because they cause inflammation that worsens scars. Then we tape your incisions once a week for 6 weeks. Lastly we start you on a 3 month topical scar management protocol with a scar gel thats FDA approved.

Thanks for your question! I would suggest an inframammary incision. We have lots of tricks up our sleeves to help with scarring so hopefully we can avoid a hypertrophic scar this time around. Best of luck!

The most common incision for breast augmentation for me is the inframammary fold. This carries several benefits such as lower capsular contracture rate, least disruption of tissues, and the scars tend to heal very well. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.
