Why does my incision look so uneven and lumpy after breast augmentation? (photos)

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. Sorry to
learn about your concerns.

The best advice that I can give you is that you should speak to your plastic
surgeon. Online consultants are not the appropriate source of information for
you; your plastic surgeon should be your resource when it comes to
postoperative concerns.

This is important because every surgeon has different perspectives, the only
one that should be important is the one that operated on you ;)You should trust your surgeon. They will flatten out.

Best wishes,

Dr. Michael J. Brown

Thanks for your question.  As you are early in the recovery process, it is a bit to early to assess how your incisions look.  You can expect these to flatten and fade over a period of weeks to months.  If you are still displeased with the incisions after several months, minor revisions performed in the office may be an option.

I can't offer any insight into why your incisions look that way. Your surgeon is generally correct in saying that these usually smooth out with time. Your breasts and implants are putting a constant downward and outward force on the incisions that will tend you cause them to flatten out. Also, as internal sutures dissolve you should see additional improvement.
