Will they improve, or is it probable I’ll need scar revision? (photos)

Asked By:v.lynne in Los Angeles, California

Hi! I had delayed healing due to spitting sutures after my breast lift earlier this year. I’m a bit concerned about the appearance of the scars. The verticals ones are wide and just a bit discolored at the top. The anchor one on the right side is very wide, red, and feels thin. Judging by this progress, what should I expect the scars to look like at maturity? Will they improve, or is it probable I’ll need scar revision? And is scar revision a bad idea if I had suture issues the first time? TIA!
