Hi I am currently 3 months post op breast lift and reduction. I am unhappy about the very visible red spider veins and veins and also redness under the breasts that can feel very warm. Is this normal?

Answer: Scarring Dear Sarman 22 Thank you for your question and photos. Your photos look fine, and the redness is just normal scarring occurring. Scars take up to 18 months to heal and the color will change and lighten out over time. 3 months is still early for everything to have completely settled. The spider veins may also settle, and may be present as your skin has been pulled tighter and stretched somewhat with the lift and reduction. If this is bothersome for you, you can have laser treatment with a Cutera excel V laser to help reduce the color of the scarring and the spider veins. Ask your surgeon if they offer this treatment or recommend somewhere you could have it done. Good luck
