Lasers can improve but not remove breast lift scars.

Hi!   Lasers can be very useful.  You need different lasers, depending on whether your scars are dark or reddish.  See a board certified dermatologist who can offer you different lasers.

I recommend waiting 6 months.

Lasers have many applications in Aesthetic (Cosmetic) medicine and surgery.

For the treatment of scars, pulse dye lasers and pigment lasers (such as the alexandrite laser) have been shown to be beneficial.

Rest assured that breast scars generally heal well, but may remain red for a prolonged period of time (up to a year). Furthermore, pigmentation of the scar may occur in some cases.

It is unlikely that any laser will completely remove the scar. Instead, the laser  will make the scar softer, eliminate the redness and pigmentation, and make the scars less noticable.

Generally, laser treatment can be initiated immediately after the wounds have completely healed.

I hope your found this information useful. Good luck with your treatment.
