Why are my breast augmentation incision scars so visible & thick? (Photo)

B00bs91
It's been nearly 12 months since op, my scars a clearly visable while I'm standing & also even more so when laying down. Did I have a dodgy surgeon, did he stitch me up wrong? Were my implants to big? Did I do something wrong? Can this be corrected with strips or would have to go bigger in order to hide them. I seem to be the only person I know with a breast augmentation with scars this extensive, but we all used the same surgeon so what's the problem. Went from A-D cup 400cc implants .
