Will a croton or phenol peel help with a tummy tuck and breast lift scar?

January 18, 2022
Asked By:PATIENT.INFO in Beverly Hills, California

I want the best possible scar outcome. A non-textured flat scar is the most important thing for me. Will a croton or phenol peel on the scar help get the flattest scar possible? My budget it limitless and I am willing to go through the healing of the peel if will help my result. How many months post op do you recommend getting the peel for optimal results? Side note: I will be doing silicone scar therapy after surgery and please don’t tell me “time” is the best solution. Thank you!!
