Breast Lift Recovery - Will I Have Scars After Breast Lift Surgery?

While the breast lift surgery does in fact take out a portion of your skin as a means to remove any sag from the breasts and lift them up by the means of raising the nipple, in most cases the scars will only be temporary. It is still possible to end up with unsightly scars no matter what the surgeon does to prevent them but it ha been determined in a large percentage of these cases that the patient's own anatomy causes the scars to more apparent.

After undergoing a breast lift procedure, you will be informed that the surgeon most likely used two types of sutures. The first type is the ones that you can see and are of the standard form. The second types of sutures are found under the skin and are of the dissolving type. These are used as a means to help support the mammary glands and other underlying tissue while the recovery period happens. Also, you will most likely have a very busy time during your first month following the surgery because you will be called in the surgeon's office from time to time so that he or she can add more stitches if necessary. All of this is done as a means to relieve the stress on the main incision sutures so that there is a far less chance of forming an unsightly scar.

Getting scars following any type of surgery is a normal occurrence. While in many cases, especially those in the plastic surgery profession, the scars are practically invisible, they are still there. After you undergo a surgery, these scars will be very noticeable until the skin has finally had a chance to completely heal and allow itself to start pigmenting. It is the main reason why they are very noticeable during the first year, but after about 8 or 9 months they will have already turned to a pinkish color and are starting to blend in with the surrounding skin.

There may also be a very slight chance of hyperpigmentation in which the pigment never returns to the scar making it visible even after a year. This is not much to worry about though because they can still be repaired through a laser resurfacing procedure.
