I had breast implants followed by a breast lift six months later, during which my nipples were repositioned. I now have noticeable scar tissue around the side of the nipple, creating the appearance of a double nipple, particularly noticeable with tight clothing. The scar tissue is hard and roughly the size of a dime. Is there a way to address this issue, given that the surgery was over two years ago?
Steroid injections should be avoided for scars around the nipple areola as they can lead to tissue atrophy and widening of the scar.
Thank you for your question, which is highly relevant. Scars go through a process of evolution and maturation, and it typically takes 9-12 months for a scar to fully form. There are various treatments available to improve the appearance of scars. Silicone sheeting can be beneficial, laser treatments can help soften the scar and enhance its color, and in some cases, surgical scar revision may be necessary to achieve the best possible outcome. It is important to have a thorough discussion with your surgeon to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals. Best of luck in achieving the desired aesthetic outcome.
