Will Embrace therapy still be effective if it was not started until 3 months post op for scars that have become raised? Or should they have been used earlier?? The scars around nipple and under breast are dark and starting to become raised. Anything else that can be done. Have been using scar cream compound tip now. Thanks in advance.
Answer: Breast contour, #breastaugmentation #recovery Dear SweetykrThank you for your question! The early wound healing and maturity of a scar is in the first 3 months. The scar is unlikely to change very much as a result of any treatment topically.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: A great option would be to combine Plato's Scar Serum and Plato's Dark Scar Corrector and apply twice daily to the scars. Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Answer: Embrace Active Scar Defense For best results, Embrace Active Scar Defense should be started 1-2 weeks after surgery. Patients have reported efficacy even when the treatment is initiated further out from surgery although the efficacy is likely less. Darkened or raised scars may require additional treatment beyond Embrace to decrease the pigmentation and soften the scar thickening. Silicone gel therapy is a simple and affordable supplement that could help and doesn’t hurt. BioCorneum is a blend of three types of silicone and SPF 30, which helps to prevent potential sun-induced damage. Consult your board-certified plastic surgeon regarding his or her recommendations. Good luck in your recovery!
