General surgeons are not using a hyaluronic sheet material called seprafilm to control abdominal adhesions following abdominal surgery. Oculoplastic surgeons have been exploring the use of this product to prevent adhesions from forming in the eyelids after surgery. The concept behind subcision is breaking the scar the hold down the base of the depressed acne scar.
There are additional changes as well due to a focal loss of fat underneath the acne scar that occurred with the original skin inflammation. If anything, Restylane injected with the subcision might actually be more effective by limiting the reattachment of the dermis to the subdermal connective tissue. You might encourage you dermatologist to use additional Restylane or better Perlane at the time of subcision.
