Is there any solution to repairing a scar from a breast augmentation incision? It's a 1/2 inch long, my breast looks great but that tiny scar ruins them.
Answer: Breast implant scars can be corrected or revised Often, the simplest solution to breast augmentation scars is to excise them and resuture them without tension. I have found this to work well. My office offers a combination of ablative and non-ablative lasers. I also advise my patients to begin treatment with Melarase for dark scars.

Answer: Treatment options for breast scars Without knowing exactly what it is about the scar that you find concerning, it is difficult to know how to address the question. As the other panel members suggested, silicone sheeting works well even on older scars to help flatten the tissue. If the scar is raised, steroid injections may be appropriate when properly evaluated for such. If the concern is the color of the scar (brown or red), lasers and/or topical products would be excellent treatment options.

Answer: Scar revision may be necessary If the scar is really small, leave it. Nothing will take it away entirely. If it is raised or pigmented, see your surgeon about a scar revision. These can usually be done under local in the office for small scars.
