Bright Pink Raised Scar After Starting Workout Routine?

June 20, 2013
Asked By:NorthwestGirl88 in USA

I'm ten weeks post breast lift and augmentation with 325/280 silicone gel implants. I just started getting back in to my 6 days a week of cardio. After a couple days in a row of running I noticed a section of the scar around my areola is bright pink and the scar is slightly raised. Should I be worried or is it just possibly my sports bra that's irritated the area?
