Is it normal for my vertical scar in the crease to still be a little pink and tender? or should I be worried?

Im 3 weeks post op and mine are still pink and sore! My Dr said they are aggitated and will settle with time,but my old scars from my previous implant surgery are still pink 10 years later!

Thank you. I just seem to be worrying about every little thing sorry.

Hey hun, totally normal... If it is really sore, red, inflammed, opening, or having any discharge then possible infection... but they are new inscisions and are going to be pink and tender, just part of the healing process.

Mine were very pink for a long time and still are infact, but have been slowly fading, and just in recent weeks the pink seems to be going away dance

My ps said that they will look more pink in the first few months as it is to do with blood flow and promoting healing but by the 1 year mark should be looking better.

You might find the joins at nipple to vertical and vertical to horizontal in the crease line do take a little longer to heal. All fine though sweetness, don't worry. xx
