Answer: Unlikely to happen if the wound is healing nicely by 3 weeks I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful.

Answer: Wounds Each week that passes allows the incision to strengthen for up to one year. The tension placed on the scars will influence your risk of wound dehiscence. Once you have reached three months post op with no healing complications the risk of dehiscence would be low. It is important to follow all post op instructions and avoid any nicotine as advised by your surgeon.
