What can I do about keloid scarring after breast augmentation in 2019? (Photos)

Thanks for your question!
Speak with your surgeon for guidance on treatment for your scars. There are lasers, micro needling and
injections that may help. Best wishes!

Cosmetic surgery procedures require a disciplined approach to scars, whether or not the incisions are placed on the face or body. In our Los Angeles plastic surgery clinic, we recommend that patients follow basic wound healing guidelines followed by the application of Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed. If the incisions are prone to pigmentation, addition of Melarase PM is required. After a few weeks, the skin heals over and laser therapy is initiated to further improve scarring.

Dear Cola109
Thanks for sharing your photos and asking your question about treatment of keloid scar after bilateral breast augmentation. This is a very frustrating complication which can happen specially in dark coloured skin patients. The best course of action would be serial steroid injection in the scar:This will help with itchy sensation 7-10 days after the first injection. You will then need to have further injections at regular intervals of 6 weeks. It is important to stick with the schedule and do not miss an injection as it can come back. In well motivated patients that have the discipline to stick with treatment plan, the scar become gradually softer and paler and after a possible 4-5 injections it might be flat / soft enough to discontinue treatment.
