Scar Revision For Breast SURGERY
Understanding Breast Reduction Scars
Breast reduction scars can vary significantly in their appearance and impact. At HPI Scar Revision, we recognize the emotional and physical effects these scars can have and offer specialized treatments to address them. Here are the common types of breast reduction scars we treat:
1) Anchor Scars
These are the most common type of scars resulting from breast reduction surgery. They extend around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast fold, forming an anchor shape.
2) Vertical Scars
These scars extend around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. They are typically less extensive than anchor scars but can still be noticeable.
3) Periareolar Scars
These scars are located around the edge of the areola and are generally less visible but can still cause concern due to their location and potential for pigmentation changes.
4) Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars
These are raised, thickened scars that develop when the body produces excess collagen during the healing process. While hypertrophic scars stay within the original wound’s boundaries, keloid scars can grow beyond them, creating larger, more pronounced raised areas.
Our Comprehensive Non-Surgical Treatment Options
At HPI Scar Revision, we offer a variety of advanced, non-invasive treatments tailored to your specific scar type. Our expert clinicians have extensive experience in scar removal and will create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs. Our treatment options include:
- Chemical Peels: A chemical solution is applied to your skin to exfoliate the upper layers. Chemical peels are ideal for mild scars, usually on the face & neck.
- Dermaplaning: A special razor is used to shave away the upper layers of your skin, improving the appearance of acne scars.
- Microneedling: A device creates microscopic punctures in your skin, encouraging collagen production and remodeling to improve scar appearance.
- Exosome Therapy: During the microneedling process, smart growth factors rejuvenate the skin by harnessing regenerative properties. This natural treatment accelerates the healing process and maximizes results, promoting healthier, revitalized skin.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Using your body’s own blood platelets, PRP injections can enhance the healing process naturally to improve the appearance of scars.
