I am considering laser to remove my breast lift scars. How long after surgery should I wait?

Lasers are not capable of removing a scar. We use lasers to improve the appearance of a scar, not remove them. Lasers are probably most effective at removing the pink color from a recent or old scar. Lasers can sometimes smooth surface irregularities of a scar. Lasers may be able to improve excessive brown pigment from a scar.
 

You should wait until your plastic surgeon recommends treatment.
