Breast augmentation scars is the main reason for avoiding breast augmentation surgery for most patients. One the most important points in aesthetic surgeries is arranging the surgical scar to remain in the hidden parts of the body. For example, breast augmentation scars cannot be seen from the décolleté area of the bra. In other aesthetic surgeries; the scar of the tummy tuck can be hidden in underwear, the scar of the facelift is hidden in the crease in front of the ear and in the scalp, the scar of the arm lift is not visible in the front view or even from the back, etc.
In order for the surgical scars placed in the concealable areas to remain in the least noticeable way, they should be sewn with non-reactive but durable threads. Suture materials, which dissolve in a long time and are durable, prevent the wounds from expanding and becoming more pronounced in the late period. However, in some cases, quick-dissolving sutures may be preferred. For example, sutures that dissolve spontaneously in a few weeks are preferred after nasal surgeries or intraoral interventions.
The scars of the breast augmentation with fat transfer operation heal after 6-12 months. But you should take care of your scars for a fast and complete heal. Opening and infection in the suture line of the surgery for any reason after the surgery may cause a slightly larger scar. In some cases, despite all the precautions taken, a pink, raised, itchy scar may remain on the skin. The scars left in this way are called “hypertrophic scars”. The scars that have the same appearance overflowing around the surgical scar and have not faded even 1-2 years after the surgery are called “keloid”.
How to minimize the appearance of scars? For the conditions we mentioned above, which are thought to be based on the difference in the formation of collagen in wound healing, pressure therapy, silicone scar bands, and special drugs that can be injected into the scar can be used to minimize the appearance of the breast implant scars.
Most of the time it is possible to minimize the appearance of hypertrophic scars. Hypertrophic scars, which are seen in a small number of people due to wound dehiscence, can be healed with appropriate follow-ups by surgically removing or re-stitching the scar to narrow or shrink the scar. In keloids, the treatment process is longer. Treatment-resistant cases can be seen. Genetic predisposition is thought to be the most important cause of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
