Breast Lift Scar

Scarring from a breast uplift (mastopexy) procedure can vary depending on the technique used and individual healing factors. However, common scarring patterns involve incisions around the areola and vertically down from the areola to the breast crease.

HEALING & SCAR PROGRESSION

Scars are a natural part of the healing process. The goal is to make your scar as small and discreet as possible. It is important to remember that cosmetic surgery scars and healing progression can vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual's healing process.

What to expect from this procedure

1 Week

During the first few days after surgery, the incision site will be swollen, bruised, and may ooze a small amount of blood or fluid. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and follow any instructions given by your surgeon for wound care. You may also experience some pain and discomfort, which can be managed with medication. After a week or so, the incision site will begin to form a scar. The scar will be raised, and firm to the touch. This is a normal part of the healing process and the scar will begin to fade over time.

6 Months

Over the next few weeks and months, the scar will continue to mature and soften. It may change colour and become less noticeable. Swelling gradually subsides and Breasts settle into their new, uplifted position. It is important to avoid exposing the scar to direct sunlight, as this can cause it to darken.

1 Year

The final results of your cosmetic surgery will be visible once the scar has fully healed and matured. This can take up to a year or more, depending on the type of procedure and your individual healing process.

It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible healing and cosmetic results.
