I had a lemon slice breast lift 6 months ago (only skin under my breast has been removed because of previous implants and bottoming out. But my scar is still pleating.) should i wait? Can this be fixed?

Answer: Revision surgery It’s a difficult question. Some surgeons revise incisions at 6 months while most wait for one year. Your photo does not show terrible pleating I’d wait two more months then decide if a revision is necessary Dr. Taranow

Answer: Dissatisfaction with surgical scar 6 months after revisional breast lift Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note an area of irritation / inflammation at the fold beneath the breast. At the lateral termination of the surgical scar, there is minimal scar hypertrophy.As you are only 6 months out from your procedure, it appears that healing is not yet complete. Scar healing takes a year (or more). Consider the application of topical silicone gel sheeting to the healing scar. If the scar thickening does not abate after one year, you may consider scar revision. Discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon.Best wishes...Best wishes...
