Try IPL laser

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Keloids and hypertrophic scarring from breast reduction

I had breast reduction surgery seven months ago, and I have hypertrophic scarring and keloids. I have had two sessions of injections with steroids, and I am using the silicone sheets. Is there a laser that will help? They look awful.

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser can be used on scars with some dramatic results at times.  Give this a try to see if your sacrs can be made better.  Good Luck!
