Scarring is an inevitable part of surgery. If you are concerned about the prominence of scarring post surgery, it is important to note these three common factors that can worsen breast augmentation scars:
๐ Excess tension or movement during healing
Too much stretching, heavy activity, or inadequate support (like not wearing a supportive bra) can pull on the incision and cause wider or thicker scars.
๐ Sun exposure
UV exposure can darken scars and make them more noticeable, especially in the first 6โ12 months after surgery.
๐ Poor post-operative wound care or infection
Delayed healing, infection, or not following post-operative care instructions can lead to raised, thickened, or irregular scarring.
