How long does it take for breast implant scars to fade in all the incision placements?
Scar formation varies from person to person. In general, breast implant incisions take 10 to 12 months to heal. The scar will look its worst after about three months. Some people may develop keloids or hypertrophic scars, which take longer to heal and fade. Keloids are raised, reddish nodules that develop at the site of an injury, and are more common among people with dark skin. A hypertrophic scar is a thick cluster of scar tissue. Like keloids, they are often raised and red. They can be hyperpigmented (dark in color) or hypopigmented (light-colored). If you are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scars, discuss using a scar remedy product, such as silicone sheeting, with your surgeon.
