Previously posted pictures at 3weeks post op when i waa worried with the same area. Still having problems under my left breast.. Scar hss gotten thicker, still is redish pink, no scabs.. is it ok to start applying silicone sheets?
Answer: This is normal Hello! It appears as though you have a very slight amount of superficial separation in the area of your breast lift commonly referred to as the "T". This is very normal. While you obviously should follow up with your surgeon, from what I can see everything looks fine.Best of luck to you!G. Robert Meger MD

Answer: Recommend applying Plato's scar serum twice daily to scars, followed by laser treatments 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: HELP! 6 weeks post op - is my incision separating? Scar has gotten thicker. What you are experiencing is not uncommon. Usually, a small gap develops at the T section due to constant stretch from the skin. This is usually managed with antibiotic topical creams and gauze and should resolve on its own as you heal.
