I got a breast augmentation and needed a lift on one breast. My skin was already a little thin with little elasticity. I had a full anchor lift on the left side and the outer scar became a keloid scar. I got cortisone injections to flatten the scar but then I noticed a change in the appearance. The skin is bulging and seems bluish and painful and rippling. My implant should be under the muscle, I went to see my dr and she said I need to have surgery to get rid of the thin skin. Is this accurate?
