I have an unilateral atrophic scar on the face due to trauma years ago.I recently undergone liposuction in the ab area to graft fat for injection into depressed area on face. its been 2 wks post opt-swelling went down alot!but injected fat area are more noticeable now.It looks like the fat was place below instead of into the scar site. the scar look worse now than before.its apparent there is a lump on my face-there is also a shawdow (not bruise) at the scar site now. advice or tx options please
First two weeks is early from the standpoint of evaluating a procedure.
The real issue is whether fat injection is the best approach. A photograph of the scar would definitely be helpful. If there is a depression, you may benefit by a scar revision in which the actual scar is de epithelialized (the top layer is removed) and it acts as a platform on which the tissues on either side are advanced over the original scar to create more bulk. This method uses tissue which come with their own blood supply so what you see is truly what you get. This is typically performed with local anesthesia.
