Interested in the best method to revise/remove post surgical scars. Feel like cords and are itchy and painful. My areola which separated during the healing phase are now jagged around the edges and look disfigured. The right areola feels like there is more breast tissue inside of it, while the one on the left looks and feels flat. Is there anything that can be done to correct this and if so what is the best route to take. I've used the recommended scar creams. Thank you!

Answer: Scars are tough Scars are difficult to predict. Different people scar differently. The itching and tenderness can be really annoying. I doubt you will respond to anything you rub on or wear over the scars at this point in your healing. You may respond to injection of steroids into the scars or may consider surgical scar revision. You need to be seen in person for an exam to get the best options. See your original surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon and ask for their opinion of your next step.
