Can Steroid Injections Help Hard Scar Lump in Breast Augmentation?

September 24, 2012
Asked By:DcFrenchie

I have mild contracture of right breast implant and can feel a small spot where scar tissue is hard, was wondering if steroid injection could reduce the scar tissue as I do not want to have another surgery. The lump is due to a revision which I was told can cause excess scarring. The contracture was worse, but used singulair and massage for over two months with good results, only one area still firm. Thanks
