I had my breast augmentation surgery about 11 months ago and as they’ve been healing, I’ve noticed my scars are a bit high. Originally I was told my breasts would drop and I thought that would hide the scars but it hasn’t. I’m not sure what to do. Or if this is normal? It’s bothering me. Any advice would be great

Answer: Scars Dear Persistent309959, I understand you are concerned with the appearance of your scars. As your scars heal, it should flatten out and lighten. Loss of pigmentation or hyperpigmentation may also be experienced but will resolve over time. You can try laser treatment to improve them or scar revision.

Answer: High IMF breast aug scar The distance between your scar and areola is going to determine what can be done. Time in order for the skin in that area to stretch and for your breast to become somewhat ptotic. Now this may not ever happen so then a breast lift may be possible with a lollipop incision to rearrange the skin but your breast will also need to have that extra skin to rearrange.
