I’m 6 months out and my scars are very red and raised. They started to look worse as opposed to better around 3 months. I don’t have itching but experience sharp short pain in them sometimes. I’ve spoke only to the nurse at my surgeons office and was recommended MEPITAC tape, should I be doing anything else are these keloid or going to get worse?

Hello and thank you for your question.
Before you remove anything speak with your surgeon first. Continue to follow all instructions for now. Best wishes!
Thank you for your question and for your photos. Based on your photos provided, delayed healing and open sores after breast reduction is common. They usually get bigger before they start to fully heal.
Hello,
and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation
is necessary for the best advice.) Tissue density will always play a big role
in the amount of tissue (and the number of grams) that can be removed. Going
too small can sacrifice the shape of the breasts...
