I am 15 months post op from a breast reduction/gala flex. Around 4 weeks postop my incision split. It took 4 months to close. Now almost a year after it has closed, it looks like this. I am devastated bc the point of surgery was to be relieve pain AND be in love with how I look naked. My surgeon has not been communicative with me about this. Is the only option surgery? Do you think it’s still healing? Or is this a pretty good idea of what I’m gonna be looking @ 4ever if I don’t get surgery?

Thanks for your question! I think that answer is really dependent on your goals. I would suggest taking some before & after photos into your next appointment where you are really pleased with the breast reduction result. That will give you both a better idea. Good luck!
