I have a tattoo on my sternum very similar to the one I posted below, I was wondering if it would be distorted or effected in any way if I were to get a breast lift..?

Thanks for your inquiry.It
will not hurt to try using both products, but it is probably redundant.Silicone is a great medium for the scar to
heal in, but using more silicone does not necessarily provide a better
effect.
Based on the above photograph the sternal tattoo should not be distorted by a breast lift procedure. However, You will need to discuss your concerns and expected results with your board certified plastic surgeon.
It takes time for your incisions to heal and the skin to smooth out. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon, but what you are describing isn't uncommon. My best,
