I had a breast augmentation in 2019 and started developing keloid scarring shortly after. The incision was made in the fold of the breast and the scarring that's developed is painful and itchy. I started using kelo-cote gel shortly after the scar started developing, but it hasn't worked at all. Over two years post surgery, I'm still not quite happy with my breasts.

Answer: Plastic Surgery scars need topical therapy 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.

Answer: Difficult problem Keloid scarring is a difficult problem to treat. You have already tried silcone dressings so now it's time for the next step - steroid injections. Locally acting steroid injections (don't worry, they don't have any effect on the rest of your body) can soften and flatten the scars and can take away the pain and itchiness. Speak to a local plastic surgeon for further advice. Good luck

Answer: Keloids I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having since your breast augmentation. I encourage you to visit with your surgeon who can inject the scars with steroids to help flatten them. You can also consider scar revision with follow up scar treatments to prevent the keloids from forming again.
