As a Result of SmartLipo I Now Have a Thick Cordlike Scar in the Upper Left Quadrant of my Abdomen. What to Do? (photo) I also have uneven waves and ripples, which dont bother me as much as the scar.

also the cordlike scar is within the abdomen- not on top of the skin. It is a fibroid type of feel, hard and thick and it is uncomfortable at times.

A: Why SmartLipo is Not so Smart

Hi there-

The problems you are experiencing are unfortunately not rare after liposuction with laser-based devices like SmartLipo. The lasers used cause more trauma to the surrounding tissues and can therefore result in many undesired problems- some of which improve over time, and some which require intervention to resolve.

At this point, I would not recommend jumping ship- follow all of your surgeon's recommendations very carefully, and give it time (it will probably take a lot of time). If there is still a problem 6 months after the procedure, visit a surgeon Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (if the doctor who did the smartlipo is not) for a recommendation.

Is There Any Kind of Treatment for Keloids (Scar) After You Get a Breast Augmentation? I had a breat augmentation and didn't scar or develop a keloid the first time. I healed very well; however, I went bigger the second time (apparently, the doctor will go over the same incision). I am 2 months and 1 week in my healing. Now, it appears that I am developing/developed a keloid. During my healing process I used Mederma, as I did with the first augmentation. Is there any kind of treatment for keloids under the breast that will show good results? Thank you

A: Unfavorable scar appearance after Breast Surgery

Hi there-

Without knowing more about your situation and being able to examine you, it is impossible to responsibly offer you advice or a diagnosis of your problem.

Your best bet is to bring this issue to the attention of your surgeon. Only he will be able to help you understand what might be going on and what has worked to improve the situation in his patients in the past.

What is a Scar Revision? What Is The Technique For Breast Augmentation Scars? If I was told my incisions were too tight and I need a scar revision. How is that procedure done? Could it make it worse? The incisions were from a breast augmentation in the inframamary fold.

A: Scar revision vs. release of Capsule

Hi there-

I'm not sure if you mean that your skin scar doesn't look as good as you or your surgeon believe it could, or if you mean that your implants have gotten tight...

I would review this with your surgeon for a better understanding of what exactly is going on and what needs to be done about it...
