Burn Scar Help!!

Playful1314 · 06-12-2009, 04:11 PM

Hi... I'm 27 and have burns on my chest since I was 8 months old. I was worried that my burns would make my breast augmentation look bad. It's not really noticeable but it's there. I would like to know if anyone ever had done burn patients and they turned out fine? Thank u so
Much

Burn scars to the chest can sometimes cause your tissues to not be as elastic as if they were not there. But, I am hopeful that breast augmentation will actually make your chest look better than before. Burn scars can sometimes hinder the development of the breast buds in young children who have been burned, depending upon the depth of the burn and the location. So your result will likely depend upon the surface area and depth of the burn that occured so long ago. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery!

thank you! I hope it will be fine too. I'm just worried that it will look funny after the breast augmentation. Thanks again for answering my questions
