Can you help with these strange bumps on my breast implants scars 1 year post-op? (Photo)

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

To accurately answer your question would require a physical examination of the scars. I would suggest starting with your surgeon. In most cases your surgeon will  be able to make a diagnosis and treat your condition. Otherwise a referral to a dermatologist may be considered. 

and you're healed, consider starting with anti-itch products to at least diminish your symptoms... Tri-Calm works for my patients.  If the redness persists or concerns you, then you must see your surgeon for an exam and determination of what may be causing this.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would return back to your surgeon and get an assessment. Spitting sutures are lesions that develop when a surgical suture ("stitch") that is supposed to dissolve does not dissolve properly. The body recognizes the remaining suture as a foreign material. A local inflammatory reaction often accompanies the spitting suture and can appear as a small pus-filled bump or inflamed papule that eventually becomes a focal ulceration or opening in the skin.
