Hello doctor, I had undergone a lumpectomy surgery 10 days ago my stitches has been removed today. When I saw those scars I got worried and I'm still worried for those scars. So please tell me how to fix those scars?

Hello, usually the lumpectomy from Breast is done from an Incision at the peri areolar region or the infra mammary region where the stitch line is not visible. Also it's Sutured with minute Stitches and removed as sons as possible to reduce the probability of stitch marks. We can understand the agony it might cause with persistent scar. It would have been better if you have considered a plastic surgeon for the same. Now if theres a scar still, do wait for 2 months before going for any intervention to reduce it. If possible you can send me a pic of the scar to guide you better. Thank you.
