How long does it take a Mastopexy scar to heal and fade? Do u regain full sensation to the nipples?

There are 3 general types of mastopexy scars: 1) around the areola 2)around the areola and a vertical scar down to the fold under the breast, and 3) around the areola, vertical scar down to the fold, and a horizontal scar in the fold.  The scar required has to do with the amount of excess skin present.  Generally speaking, these scars heal well.  The incisions are fully healed between 6-8 weeks, but the scars will continue to mature over time.  They will actually look good in the beginning, will start to look red and raised from 2-4 months, and will then calm down again.   They way they look at 1 year after surgery is about how they will end up looking, but I think they continue to improve after 1 year as well.The things you can do to improve the appearance of scars are 1) scar massage  2) sun block  3) silicone based scar gels or tapes.

Scars can take about a year to "heal and settle". Usually, they'll heal into a thin faint line. However, if you have a history of abnormal scarring or expose the scar to the sun, they will be more visible. You can try a number of scar treatments. Your surgeon can recommend the best one for you.  Sensation usually returns to the nipples, but it can take a few weeks.

It might take 12-18 months for the scars to fully settle.  Nerve growth may also take this amount of time to regain sensation in the areas.
