I had a breast lift and slight reduction along with abdominal scar revision and I now look like the bride of Frankenstein. First the abdominal scar revision-the doctor said "not only can I reduce these scars I can also tighten your skin". I said that's fine, but i am only a size 6 so being smaller is not an issue for me. Tighter skin would be a side benefit if i can have smaller scars. I ended up with a scar from my pelvis to my navel and from 4 inches past one
hip bone extending up my back to two inches past the other hip bone. At least double the scars I had. I asked why this happened and the surgeon said he misjudged. He said the tissue started to "blanch" and he had to cut more than he expected. My left aerola became necrotic immediately after surgery and all the tissue died. The hole it left has filled in with scar tissue that is bumpy and shiney. My breasts of course are lopsided. The scars that should be under the folds of breast tissue are about an inch up and in plain view all the time. When i got over my shock and sickness from infection(which he said I didn't have, but I ended up in an emergency room and the culture revealed i had a MARSA infection) I asked my surgeon why the lower scars on my breast were so visible. He said he did that intentionally so that if I lifted my arms up when I had a two piece
bathing suit on the scars wouldn't show. I found this reasoning incredulous. This was the last straw with him. I hate the scars I have. I am depressed by what has happened to me. I can't stand to look at my body and I don't know where to go. I want to find the best plastic surgeon in the country to find out if any of this is correctable or if there is anything non-surgical to help these hideous scars.
