Asked By:marlapao in Saint Cloud, FL

Breast lift & implant exchange. 6 wks post op. My scars where looking great right up to about 2 weeks ago. One of the scars was barely visible. Now they are all really red. I started using BioCorneum (recommended by my surgeon). During my first breast lift/aug surgery I did develop keloids. I'm afraid that the redness in my scars now could be keloids in the making... Unfortunately my surgeon is not very informative when I ask him questions so your answers really help! Thankyou.
