Why are my scars itchy and scabbing more than one year after breast lift?

Question

I had a breast lift over a year ago. My scars are becoming extremely itchy and I’ve been mindlessly itching them - side note I am already unhappy and would like a revision so I don’t think before I itch - but when I do stop and think i become worried that it will make the scar worse! They peel and there was even some bleeding today! Is this normal?

I'm sorry to hear about the issues that you have been experiencing. It's very hard to determine the cause of itching without a full in person discussion and examination. I would make sure to reach out to your plastic surgeon so that you can be seen in person.

Dear implanttoexplant,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
