Periareolar scar revision
BreastsBeseemingblissDecember 29, 2018
I had a BA about a year and a half ago through periareolar incision. The scars are noticeable so I will be getting a scar revision tomorrow. Just want to log my recovery process on here!
These are my before photos.
Side note: looking back at my review for my BA, it’s apparent that the color and shape of my nipples have changed drastically. They’ve almost doubles in size and became more round (which I’m assuming is because of the stretching from the implants). But the color has changed from dark to light; which is something I don’t understand. Maybe also from stretching?

The procedure was as expected. I was numbed via local anesthetic. Doctor cut out the scar and sutured them back together from each side. It took less than an hour. Instead of gauze and tape, the surgery site was covered with a breathable sticker so that it could help keep the incision site from stretching again.
I had ibuprofen and norco left over from my wisdom teeth removal last week. Doctor advised maybe I should take one right after. I did when I got home because I could feel a little bit of stinging when I moved my arms.
Post op instructions:
Keep the sticker on until I come back for suture removal about two weeks later. If it comes off, replace them.
I am to notify my doctor if the suture site becomes red before the two week appointment. This means my body is ready for the sutures to be taken out.
No antibiotics or pain meds were prescribed. But I can take pain meds if needed.
No restrictions on exercise. But I can’t help but think to be careful when stretching because the reason the scars healed badly last time is because of scar stretching.

No pain
BreastsBeseemingblissDecember 31, 2018
I expected some pain because it’s a pretty deep incision on a sensitive area. But surprisingly, I don’t feel any discomfort at all. I haven’t taken pain medication after the first day of the surgery.
Thanks for starting your review! Please do keep us posted on how you get on :)
