What is the best option for hypertrophic scars two years after breast augmentation? (Photo)

September 14, 2015
Asked By:al256 in Alabama, AL

I have been extremely happy with my breast augmentation experience except for my scarring. Paper tape was used for the first week followed by kelo-cote. About a year following my surgery, I received steroid injections to the raised portions of the scar. This flattened them, but now they are more red in appearance. My surgeon has now recommended laser therapy, but without much confidence. I would like other opinions before investing in series of laser treatments which may yield no results.
