Can using hydroquinone prevent pigmentation of lift scars?

Asked By:mariacatherine in Stratford, NJ

I have some dark undertones in my skin (a bit darker nipples) and I’m very worried of the vertical scars after breast lift, would using hydrquinone on the breasts for a while on breasts before/and after surgery deactivate pigmentation if scars? Why isn’t it always used in this case? What can be done before surgery and during healing to absolutely minimize the scarring and whitening it?
