Scar Tissue After Breast Implant Explantation

Your surgeon is right that a massage does loosen some scar tissue in some cases but not in all.

It's not clear why you had your breast implants removed and whether the scarring is in proportion to your breast.

Overall, I will expect this situation to improve slightly but it's difficult to say to exactly to what extent.

I would overall advice you to let the area fully settled prior to having any further treatment.

Best wishes yours sincerely,

Good day! In addition to massage, Singulair or Vitamin E may be of help but contact your surgeon and discuss your options. Best of luck! #RealSelf100.

It’s important to realize
that wound healing is a dynamic process and that you may not see your final
results for at least a year following surgery.We frequently see wounds that are unattractive in the initial phases of
wound healing which ultimately look good with the passage of time.Many of these wounds are similar to
yours.They have firmness, redness, and
are adherent to the deeper structures.In the early post-operative period, massage, topical
agents, and sun avoidance can all be utilized to minimize scarring.Occasionally, treatment with lasers may also
be helpful.If scarring persists for
longer than a year, surgical revision may be necessary.It’s important to realize that scarring tends to improve
over the course of approximately a year.In the vast majority of patients, surgical revisions aren’t
necessary.It’s therefore important to
be patient and listen to your surgeons recommendations.
