I had a breast lift with implants 6 months ago . My scars are quite noticeable not only are they still read but mainly my nipple is distorted and painful . I feel like the stitches are still inside when I touch or even sleep on them . I was thinking of doing erbium or co2 to help with stretched skin around the areola . Is this the est treatment for that ?
