This is from a tummy tuck I had 3 1/2 years ago!! I have already had one revision before this to make it much smaller, 2 1/2 years ago and I have also tried micro-needling, but obviously I would like for it to be much smaller an less visible! I am very happy with my TT results, just not the scar. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Answer: Resurfx laser treatment to even out the skin texture Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Answer: Scars on body with lasers, microneedling/PRP, subcision and fillers It's difficult to determine the best solution for you without the benefit of a formal evaluation. Generally speaking, scars can be improved with a combination of surgery and/or lasers and microneedling with PRP. Below is a more detailed reference list of the treatments available. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert to determine which is best for your specific case.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Scars In our practice we use BioCorneum scar gel followed by a series of laser treatments targeted to your particular skin type. In your case the scar is somewhat wide. While laser might improve it a little you'll probably only be satisfied with a formal scar revision.
