I am 15 months post op from a breast reduction and dealing with a number of issues. Is any of this normal? 1. uneven nipples (werent like that before) 2. thick scarring (looks like some hypertrophy), in particular on the right breast nearest to my side its very raised and when I grab the scar it kind of hurts 3. indentation under left breast. The nurse told me to massage at my post op appointments and I did but it did not help. When I contract the muscle its extremely noticeable.
Im trying to tell if this is a Keloid or a hypertrophic scar. Its from my breast reduction. My doctor said its Keloid, she hasnt seen it in person yet. My gyn also sid Keloid. From my research Id think its htpertrophic. But I dont have and MD. Surgery was 11/21/17. This became noticeably uncomfortable about 1/25/18
I had a breast reduction in 2008 and one year later I had my first child. My scars are hypertrophic and I've had multiple kenalog injections to flatten them. Post-op healing was well and scars where minimal until pregnancy. On the left breast the scars are very visible even with a conservative swim suit top. I feel like they are deflated and deformed looking. I'm not sure if I should get the scars revised or get a new breast lift or implants. Any advice would be appreciated.
I feel that they are quite different, the nipples point in different directions. I was a 34ddd prior and wanted to be a C and they are a D. I feel that the are still a little saggy. I fail the pencil test. My scars are raised and hypertrophic. I still have bra strap/shoulder pain. I think they are still too big. Should I ask my surgeon to redo them or seek a second opinion? Do my breasts look good or could they be improved? Not sure if I was expecting too much or if I should seek a second opinion.
I had a breast reduction in March of 2014, a little over a year ago. I immediately noticed that my scars were thick and ugly. I was told that they looked normal and would decrease over the next year by my surgeon. As you can see, I still have very significantly thick scars, numbness in one nipple and breast, and partial numbness under my arms. I don't expect sensation to come back, but can my scars be improved? What caused this?
My surgeon gave me kenalog injections to help with the hypertrophic scarring around my areolas. The scars flattened somewhat, but it spread to the surrounding skin and it is now very very thin and there are spider veins. It's been 6 months and there has been no improvement.
i am 7 months post op BR....recently i noticed that my scars have taken a turn for the worse. I went to see my PS to discuss my concerns, he gave me injections and told me to get the sillicon sheeting immediately which i started today. My question is why did my scars all the sudden turn hypotropic after all this time? and will the sillcon sheeting help even tho I am 7 months post op? My PS only told me to use cocoa butter, he did not originally stress the sheets..and btw i am not a smoker
