I'll be doing another reduction. Should I do scar therapy so the surgeon can have the most healed skin to work with? (photos)

Asked By:annyriverrose in New York, NY

to note, the left breast was swollen hard and fluid filled and took 2 weeks longer to have its drain removed and the areola's skin surface turned black but there was blood supply. it took time to have its color come back. definitely no sensation on that nipple and very little on the right, which isn't a big deal as i had lost a lot of sensation after my first surgery. wondering if scar therapy is a waste of time or if it will help the next surgery.
