The patients at the Plastic Surgery Specialists of NJ located in Bergen County NJ, Ridgewood often ask about the lines associated with the surgery. The scars will rapidly improve with the proper treatment like scarguard or Talsyn creams but subsequently plateau.

Breast reduction incisions need several factors to heal well. One is time , the incisions in a breast reduction may take up to a year to heal. Scar massage on a daily basis is important and a proper scar cream used topically is essential. The scar cream I like to use is a silicone based topical agent that the patients paint on after breast reduction surgery.

All these techniques when combined will give the fine white lines all patients desire when undergoing breast reduction surgery.
