Managing the Visibility of Post-Operative Marks Following Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty

Breast augmentation mammoplasty is a procedure that alters the size and form of the breasts. As with any surgical intervention, it can result in post-operative marks. For individuals in Brisbane considering this procedure, it’s reassuring to know that Dr. Phillip Richardson prioritizes techniques that aim to minimize and strategically place these marks for less visibility. Furthermore, there are measures that can be taken post-surgery to assist in reducing the prominence of these marks.

Surgical Approach

Each procedure at Dr. Richardson’s Brisbane practice is tailored to the individual’s requirements. A key decision in breast augmentation mammoplasty is the choice of surgical approach, which will influence the location of any post-operative marks. Dr. Richardson engages in thorough discussions with patients about the advantages and considerations of each approach, including the potential for post-operative marks. Whether the approach involves an incision around the areola, under the breast fold, or in the armpit area, Dr. Richardson’s technique is focused on ensuring any resulting marks are as discreet as possible and positioned to allow for natural reduction in visibility over time.

Post-Operative Care

Attentive care during the recovery phase is crucial for the management of post-operative marks. Keeping the incision area clean and allowing it ample time to heal is essential. Patients will be provided with specific garments post-procedure to support the area for a duration of six weeks. It is also advised to refrain from strenuous activities during this period to avoid undue stress on the healing incisions. Dr. Richardson’s team, including skilled nurses, will monitor the recovery process, and regular follow-up consultations will be scheduled to ensure a smooth recovery over the following year.

Supportive Creams

Various creams that support the healing process and assist in reducing the visibility of post-operative marks are available. These products typically aim to hydrate the skin and support elasticity, which can be beneficial once the incision area has fully healed. Dr. Richardson can provide recommendations for such products when appropriate.
