Answer: Breast lift scar hi there it is completely normal for scar to be red after a surgery, and it will be like that for 6 month -1year. It will fade away over 6 month after surgery. To help for the scar color, your surgeon can do a laser it will help a lot for fading away faster. I hope it help you Dr Stephanie Olivier MD, FRCSC

Answer: Normal Healing Discuss scar management with your surgeon. As long as the scars are red or pink, protect them from sun exposure. Once they are matured ( a white / flesh color) the sun will not affect them. It is not unusual for it to take months and longer for scars to mature. It appears from your photo that you are healing well.
