I am looking to do this myself and I'm afraid the scar will be just as bad...Its been 2 years since my reduction/lift and my scaring is terrible yet other scars i have are not as bad. What did you do post op to prevent scarring? How are they looking now? Thanks for all your post!

Thanks for your question. A scar revision should only make things better not worst, so you shouldn't worry. I was not going to do the scar revision, I almost settled with the big old ugly scar, but I'm so glad I had it fixed. Every month the scar is lighten up and there is no more pain what so ever! The post OP from the revision was easy, just a little neosporin on it for about 2 weeks. No regrets here! I hope this helped.

Your results have turned out fantastic, and have possibly gave some of us hope that we can be "fixed", but threw all of your comments you only mention that your PS redid your scars "free of charge" which is great. Can you please give a name of the PS that you used. Again your results are amazing and I know a lot of us on here would love to give him some business .

DONE! AND VERY HAPPY!!
I was very nervous to do this scar revision as I stated in my pre op post, and now seeing how much better it looks and the sensitivity/tenderness is all gone, I couldn't be more thrilled over doing it!!
It wasn't even painful after the fact of the revision. I did bruise and have a little swelling and stayed bruised for many weeks as you can see by the pictures, but all in all easier the the breast reduction!
The last picture shown is 12 weeks post op! DONE! AND VERY HAPPY!
Please feel free to ask me any questions! If you are in this situation I recommend doing the scar revision.

Looking really good. Was the scar tissues the only part that got cut off ? Or all the skin along incision line ? I wonder if scar revision can cause asymmetrical issue on the shape of the breast, especially when lot of skin got cut off. I am not very happy with how I heel too. They are not too bad but I am concerned it will get worse.

I am so sorry i commented right away on your question and just now noticed it must of never went through. The plastic surgeon only cutout the scar and pulled the incision lines together. I don't notice any change in my shape other then I have been swollen for sometime because thats just how I am (very sensitive!) but now the swelling has come down and the breast is starting to soften up and it looks fantastic! I do plan on taking a picture on the 6th month mark in April to show how the end result of scar and shape have came out. I hope all is going well on your end, keep me posted what your outcome is!

I am going to say a flat out YES!
Not only did the reduction help weight wise from torquing on my neck and back, but the placement of the nipples are perfect and give that youthful look I once had. Thank you for your question.

Sorry I should have clarified, was it the reduction or the scar revision? I have the exact same large scar you had. My revision is next week. Im hoping it will help to perk them back up. Did removing the scar help to perk yours up a bit?

Oh! ok got it! Yes it did help in a sense because the scar added a little more width making that breast look a slightly larger and when my Plastic surgeon cut out all that scar tissue and pulled it close together to look like the other scar it did give it a little more firmness then what it had and it now also looks like the other breast so I'm thinking thats what your talking about not so much as it lifting it up more but giving it that shape it kind of lost from the oversized scar. I hope this makes sense and helps with your question. Please do let me know how your revision goes, I can say you will be very happy to have it done! Best of luck : )

Hello!! I'm thinking I will be headed down this road soon. My daughter burst my stitches twice in the incision in my left boob. He stitched once and it came apart again. About an inch long. How long did it take for your incision to heal completely before you had the revision and how did you do it? I can't seem to get mine to heal. It's still won't scab completely over bc the "non-stick" padding keeps pulling it off even with ointment. Yours look amazing by the way!!

I'm sorry to hear this has also happened to you.
It does take some time to heal this type of wound. It took mine 4 months. I did everything I was told to do, but still the process of healing is slow.
I thought I could get away with not doing the revision since I'm married and no one would ever see the scar, but then the sensitivity started and some pain on the scar sight, so that's when I figured I better do the revision. It was a little over a year when I finally did the scar revision, and there was no issues with healing.
I hope this helps with your questions.
I thank you for your comment on the way mine turned out. I am truly happy with the outcome and so glad I ended up doing the scar revision.
Please keep me posted and don't hesitate to ask me any questions you might have. Best of luck!
