Some work I see is just ridiculously sloppy. I’m hesitant to have the procedure because of it.
Answer: Scars Yes, we all care. Scarring is not something that we have 100% control over and many patients have a tendency to scar and heal poorly in spite of our best efforts. If you are hesitant, then do not have surgery.

Answer: Scars and nipple shapes Dear SNGuest, scar prevention begins in the OR during the surgery when I meticulously close wounds in multiple layers in order to reduce tension and reduce scars width. I tape my incisions during the early postoperative period to reduce micromotions of the tissues so the incision can heal earlier. I also use compression garments and later Biocorneum gel.

Answer: Bellesoma Method I developed a technique called The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The areola scars usually heal very well because there is no tension on the closure, unlike the lollipop or anchor or donut techniques. Also, the inframammary incision can be hidden in the inframammary fold. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Scar shape Do surgeons care about what scars and nipple shapes look like? Hello @SNGuest, Thank you for your question. In terms of how the scar will develop, there is no guarantee. The shape of the scar depends on specialist expertise and technique to obtain the best aesthetic result. The specialist determines the location and extent of the scar. But the patient determines the final result of her scar. The healing process of the scar is multifactorial. Scar healing depends on the postoperative care, genetics, and daily movements of the patient. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
