Reduce Scarring After Breast Surgery
Some women suffer from their breasts being too large. When this happens, not only do they look out of sorts, but they can also cause a lot of back pain as well as other problems. For example, in one particular case, a woman complained of having permanent indents in the skin of her shoulders from her bra strap. When breasts are so large that they cause discomfort in any way, it might be time for a breast reduction and in most cases, this is done through cosmetic surgery and is covered through your medical insurance if it is causing discomfort.
The problem with surgery is that it can leave unwanted scarring behind. There are some things you can do to reduce this scarring after a breast reduction.
* Keep in mind that it takes at least a year for scarring to fade. Usually, breast scarring is at it’s worst right after surgery and for the next several months so be patient.
* Rub Vitamin E on your breasts and scars consistently for the next several months which helps reduce the appearance of scars.
* Massage in Mederma, ScarGuard and Palmers Scar Serum to help fade scarring.
* Keep your scars out of the sun, even with a swimsuit on as this will turn them permanently red.
* Try Vitamin R which is a new product. This fully removes and replaces scar tissue in 2 weeks.
Scarring is inevitable with any kind of surgery, but by following some of the tips above you can reduce if not remove your scars for good.
