6 week post op , I noticed lumps on my right side breast incision. My left side looks nothing like it. I will be reaching out to my PS, but still would like to hear opinions.
Answer: Is this normal for a breast augmentation incision? Your incision seemed to be healing well. As time goes by should continue to improve. It is certainly a good idea to reach out to your surgeon.#StayBeautiful #RealDrWorldWide

Answer: Breast scar Hello, you need to allow your wounds to heal over the course of 1 year. Patience is key. You should be using a silicone based scar therapy system to help improve the final result of your scar. Best of luck! Alex Zuriarrain, MD Cleveland Clinic Trained Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Scar - Recovery Thank you for your question as well as providing photos. I'll start by saying if there is a concern with the incision, you should set up a visit with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, especially if the implant is compromised. It appears that the incision is fine, and closed, however an in person visit is preferred, especially at 6 weeks post-op. The tissues are everted during closure, and there is still swelling present. Over time the scar will continue to heal, and flatten. Some areas will heal quicker than others, and that is normal. If down the road there is a concern about a scar, it is possible to revise, however that will most likely not be necessary, and you will not know until at least 6 months post op. Good luck and best wishes!
