Skin tags developing after Breast reduction, is this common?

July 27, 2019
Asked By:Memeler in Turkey, TR

I had a breast reduction 6 months ago, I'm extremely happy with the results. However, I have noticed that I have developed 4 small skin tags at intervals, about 5mm under the lower breast scars, on my normal skin. I have been using silicone gel on my scars, could this have caused these skin tags to develop? Any other ideas? Just seems odd that I have four all just under the scar line. Thanks for any advice.
