Breast augmentation incision puckering, 8 days post op. Is this normal? (Photos)

Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Thank you for your question and pictures.It appears that your incision is healing well. Sometimes, there is puckering or wrinkling in the incision line, and this tends to settle and flatten over time, like 3 to 6 months. Once you are cleared to perform scar massage by your surgeon, I'd recommend doing it to reduce scar tissue and enhance the appearance of the scar. Best of luck to you...

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  This puckering of your incision will flatten with time as the stitches begin to dissolve and the skin starts to stretch.  I am attaching a link below with information you may find useful, but for now follow along closely with your surgeon to ensure you go on to heal without difficulty.  Hope this helps.
