Please Help I need an answer

I had a breast augmentation 3 to be exact kept having problems. But after the initial surgery I had this mark under my breast nowhere near the surgical site or tape. The doctor reassured me that it would go away on its own it's been 2 years and it's still red and it's raised what is it? I have seen many other surgeons but no one will give me a straight answer to what this huge scar is under my breast. Please I need help!!!! It's approximately 5 inches in length 3/4 inch thick in some areas.

Guess it is the same as hypertropic scar.

My doctor said at first it was a Keloid scar and then said it was not. I have had other surgeries before and have never had any type of scaring like this one. One of the surgeon’s suggested that is a cauterizing scar?

You seem to have a tendency for keloid formation.A hypertrophic scar will not branch out.
