Minimizing Scarring For Your Breast Augmentation

As we are all aware, any surgery requiring an incision will have a scar – and breast augmentation surgery isn’t any different. It is a concern for all women who would like to improve their appearance, and then, to end up with scarring that they didn’t bargain for. They want to improve something about their breasts – size or shape or symmetry, but dealing with scarring after a breast augmentation is usually the very last thing a woman thinks about, until it’s there.

Is It Possible To Minimize Breast Augmentation Scarring?

As the healing process begins after the surgery, it’s always a good idea to explore some of the options available to make the scars lighter in color. Even before your surgery, your doctor can advise you as to when an appropriate time to begin treatment to minimize your scarring. There are several options available to you.

• Microdermabrasion – this removes the top layers of the skin and consequently triggers the growth of healthy, more elastic skin. Microdermabrasion helps reduce the scarring after a breast augmentation.

• Retinol creams – they contain Retin-A which corrects pigmentation in scarred areas resulting in improved edges, makes neighboring skin healthier and therefore minimizing the scarring after breast augmentation.

• Lasers – these break down the scar tissue that can cause the scar to look large. As the scar tissue gets cleaned away, new tissue grows into place. A laser can significantly minimize scarring after breast augmentation surgery.

The most common place to insert the breast implant would be the underside of the breast, in the crease. The natural look of the bust is enhanced when the implant settles in. As the incision heals, the breast implants tend to move toward the incision location. When the incision is placed on the underside of the breast, the implants are going to settle on top of the tissue, leaving a natural look to the new breast implants.
