550cc Breast Augementation on 5'11 Saggy breast no lift

Here are my photos of my scars before and 24 hours after kenalog. With 24 hours the initial inflamed pain subsided.

I wish I would of went in sooner to have gotten this taken care of. I remember hearing so many times scars get worse before it gets better. At 3 months i realized my scar was getting thicker and assumed at 3 months it would start to flatten after that, well it didn't. So I started to use Kelo-Cote and scar-guard silicone strips hoping it would give me some improvement , well it didnt. For months i dealt with a very painful hard crease incision scar on my right breast and quite uncomfortable scar on my left breast. I assumed in due time the pain would go away and my breast wouldn't feel like a foreign object besides the implant was under my skin.

I waited 7 months from my surgery after enduring the healing process and a mild infection cured with a dose of antibiotics stemming for the stubborn right breast to call the surgeons office again. I explained quickly I had a hypertrophic keloid feeling scar, being African American i know im at high risk for such scars that if left untreated only get worse. They gave me the next available appointment about a week later to inject a corticosteroid called Kenalog into the scar. Im quite certain it was the 10mg.

I get to the doctors office and im so nervous im not naive Im aware they are going to injected it directed into the scar. My nerves were bad and I wish not that I had a xanax. The doctor has one hypodermic needle to cover both breast. I was asked to raise my arm above my head. The first injection hurt really bad because the scar tissue was so thick. It felt like about 5-7 small injections in the right breast and about 4-5 in the left. On a pain scale it was like a 3 more scary than anything.

I got up to put my top on to realized he lanced the scars which caused a little bleeding. I put some gauze under breast so it wouldn't be irritated . I know there are side effects of Kenalog and within a few hours i had mild to moderate nausea which last about 24 hours. The next morning when I woke up i was amazed to already feel a little softness in the scar tissue that normal felt inflamed. Atlas something worked. It can take weeks for the drug to melt the scar tissue however im already happy with the immediate results. My only worries would be con caving with is a known side effect , when it works too well. My skin is already discolored so that dosent bother me being my scar is hidden . I just want the scar tissue to be flat and not painful.

I suggest going in sooner than later if you develop very thick scar tissue. There was no charge for this procedure from my surgeon it complimentary because I had a breast augmentation with him otherwise for a normal traumatic scar there will be a fee. I will also be using mepitac tape for the next few months for optimal results.

It's been 7 months and I will say I'm so happy. I've been realistic with my goals and expectations since day one. I was told by many plastic surgeons to get lift and silicone implants. I refused because of possible hypotrophic or keloids, boy was I right. I don't know what I did wrong in all fairness I did use kelo-cote and silicone sheets , but I didn't use them consistently . I do prefer the kelo-cote over the Scarguard silicone sheets. I developed a infection in my left breast at 2 months in which I was given antibiotics. My breast feel so real until I feel my surgical scar that's under my breast , it hurts and I tried to massage it but it's too painful. I never really did massage but I do wear a bra 24/7 as the weight of my breast are uncomfortable . I don't notice any back problems or weight issues as long as I've got a bra on.
I've called my plastic surgeon about my scars as I don't think they should be painfull and I'll be going in tomorrow for kenalog injections . I'm nervous but if it can calm the scar tissue I'll take it. I also ordered mepitac tape to help smooth the scar. I still have stretch marks that I had before however if I wear a push-up bra they kinda go away. All in all I'm pleased with the natural look and feel and would recommend silicone over water bags . Because of my height I believe I able to hide these puppies easily to avoid unwanted attention of having a 34dd -DDD bra. Btw because of my incisions I prefer to wear sports bra to alleviate pressure.
I'm happy I'm still able to sleep on my stomach . I think 550 is the biggest I should if ever went, my frame is small however I've got a little butt to even it out. I thought guys would look at me in a skanky way, nope I still get treated like a lady. All in all I'm completely happy I didnt get the full lift as I didn't scar well. I did it for myself and it's boosted my confidence by 1000% I feel sexy again.
