The scars from my breast lift are high up and not hidden in the crease of my breasts like I thought they would be. Also, one of my nipples is larger than the other. The surgeon is planning to revise, but I’m wondering of this is common or of the dr made a mistake? I’m worried about having the same person revise.
Answer: Scar Revision Good afternoon,

Answer: Scar laser treatments can help reduce appearance of unwanted scars Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Answer: Breast lift Thank you for the question. Scars being higher than desired is very common, and asymmetries such as different size nipples is also common. I do not believe that your surgeon made a mistake, and the revision is relatively straightforward. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Answer: Breasts The weight of your breasts has caused some sagging and now your incisions are a little raised. This is not the fault of your surgeon, but from the weight of your tissue. You might consider going a little smaller so the lift will hold.
