Steroid injection to the rescue!

WORTH IT$7,200
So today I saw my PS regarding the two small areas of troublesome scarring. He decided to inject them with steroids. Not a lover of needles but it was ok, just a small scratch & stingy feeling, pretty much over in a couple of minutes. There’s a few tiny little dark bruises where the needle went so I’ll wait and see what happens! Fingers crossed this helps. Will keep you posted.
I’ll post photos tomorrow.

Keloid!

It’s been 18 months since my breast reduction surgery, I’m very happy with my results but I still have two small areas of keloid scaring. These areas are really quite irritating most of the time, nothing that I’ve tried from gels to silicone strips seem to help. I looked into the co2 lasers I was recommended by a laser specialist but I’ve read bad things about them so ruled that out. It doesn’t matter what I wear bra wise, these two small areas are just constantly iritated and get quite sore.
The position of them makes them visible if I wear low cut or swimsuits etc. If they were underneath I wouldn’t be so bothered but I recently tried on a evening dress for my son’s wedding and the style sadly made the scars visible so can’t wear it. Not sure what to do now, I will have to ask my PS for guidance and hope they can be resolved somehow! Any body else have any experience with keloid scars, your advice would be gladly appreciated.
Hope you are all doing well. L x

Hey you thank you, I do need to get these two areas sorted. Wish I hadn’t left it this long but at 18 months I guess they are as good as they are going to be without medical intervention. I will speak with my PS and live in hope there’s something he can do.
I’ve just had a look at your review updates and wow you look amazing, congratulations on your new venture and all the very best with your procedure to remove ‘Henry’!! : )

Now I know why having a breast reduction was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Before and after. The first photo I’ve got on a ‘scaffolding’ underwired bra the second in the blue dress I’m totally braless!!
If you are considering having one, do it ladies xx
