I had a major facelift surgery with a chemical peel one year ago and was pleased with the results. About 3-4 months later I noticed some slightly elevated white lined areas. My plastic surgeon said he had not seen this before and recommended pro fractional laser resurfacing at about 6 months post op, which he performed. The white raised lines have increased where the laser resurfacing was done, even my upper right lip. I am assume I had a reaction to the laser. Do you know how to treat this?

Answer: Resurfacing has risks Any time you resurface the skin there is a risk of temporary or even permanent color changes. This varies with the type of laser peel and the aggressiveness of the provider. If this proves to be permanent then treatment options are limited Im afraid. You can wear makeup and/or lighten the surrounding skin with a lightening product.
