My Nipples After Surgery Are Uneven and Scarred.
My nipples after surgery are uneven and scarred. I got surgery in March 2018 I had been waiting for the surgery for at least 10 years. I researched doctors and went to several surgeons in the area before I decided on one. He had very good bedside manner and went over saline implants versus silicone implants, under the muscle versus over the muscle, and the main thing that I was worried about was scarring. Starting off I had a small B cup with what the surgeons were calling very mild tuberous breasts. My breasts were even and my nipples were even to begin with obviously my breasts were a little cone shaped with a small lower pole and my nipples were puffy, my main goal was to have larger breasts and hopefully have a more normal shape with very minimal scarring . During the preliminary process answering questions about my goals I made it very clear that I have had keloids in the past not from surgeries but from accidents I have been in and I wanted to talk about incision placement because of the potential to keloid. I work in the medical industry I know that normally if you’re prone to keloids it’s really hard to avoid them. I was assured that’s the way this surgeon does his incisions I will not have keloids. I did not get an option of where the incision goes I was told that he always goes for the areola but the way that he does it there is minimal scarring and since he goes on the inside of each nipple it’s not very noticeable. Everything went well with surgery the first follow-up the day after was fine the pain was pretty minimal, I did not use any of the painkillers prescribed and I was pretty happy ... The day came where the stitches were to come out and this is my last follow up. My breasts had started to settle and I noticed they are pretty even in size but I noticed that the incisions looked like they were performed by two different people, the one on the right breast was actually inside of the nipple border, and the one on the left breast was about a centimeter outside of the nipple border I had asked about this and I was told basically the way that they’re going to heal you won’t be able to tell so I left it alone . I asked if I needed to start using silicone tape or any scar cream and I was told that I could if I wanted to but it’s not necessary. I began using silicone tape after realizing that the scar around my right nipple was becoming a keloid in some areas and in other areas they were small dents that kind of blended into my nipple, and I tried scar tape on the left nipple as well however that incision is very far out from the one that’s on the right and it actually seems to of made my nipple on the left far bigger than the one on the right. I really don’t know if something happened during surgery that caused these incisions to be so drastically different but I’m not sure what to do any advice is extremely welcome here. I am wondering if I need to get scar revision surgery, if something entirely different needs to be done, I’ve looked into lasers I’m just really not sure what to do! The breast are underneath the muscles so they do look very strange when I flex my breasts but I was told that that can happen and I’m OK with that the only thing I’m very uncomfortable with is my nipple scarring and the drastic size difference in my nipples. The left nipple lost all sensation of that makes any difference in what is going on. Thank you.
