6 months

Result is the result. Scars finish settling.

At six months, the shape is final. Scars continue to mature and fade through month 12-18. If anything still bothers you at six months — a small ridge, a contour line, asymmetry — this is the conversation-with-surgeon moment, not the panic moment.

Expect to feel

  • A chest that is yours again

Emergency — go to ED

No 24/7 emergency signals specific to this milestone — but general post-op red flags (sudden severe pain, breathing change, fever) always apply.
