Subcision Should be Before The Filler

Tanveer Janjua, MD answers: Subcision after Restylane?

I would like to get scar subcision done, but was wondering if I can get it about a month after a Restylane injection? Would the filler make subcision less effective? What would happen if I did so?

I know that fillers after subcision is a good idea, but what if it is reversed? I got Restylane injected into my scars a week ago and I want to get subcision done in a month.

Is it possibile to get subcision done after a filler? Or should I wait 6 months or so for the Restylane to subside before I go on with subcision?

The goal is to break up all the scar tissue holding up the skin and pulling it downwards causing depressions. Once that is done by subcision then injecting a filler to smoothen the skin works well.

For acne scarring etc, Sculptra might be a better filler than Restylane.
