There's been some talk around here about cortisone injections for scar tissue.  Not a whole lot of people report back about its results or even really have the injections.  I have heard some people say surgeons will give them and I've heard others say endocrinologists will give them.

The general consensus is that the injections are pretty effective at alleviating scar tissue but have no real effect on breast tissue itself.
But I'll leave the others to get back to you with their experiences.

It couldn't hurt to mention it to your PS though regardless.
