MoldedClayJul 30, 2013
I am in my mid 20s and I am a black and native American lady. I am thinking about a breast augmentation. I have heard that radiation and steroid injections can be given in the new wounds to prevent scarring. Is that true? I am concerned about the radiation as I don't want to raise my cancer risk but I will definitely consider the steroid injections. How can I find a doctor proficient in dealing preventing scars in ethnic skin? Thanks.
