It’s been a year since my bbl and 3 months since my bbl scar revision. The revision made the scar larger and worst. What can I do to get rid of the scars? Are there certain laser treatments I should look into?

Answer: BBL scars Scars continue to mature and improve over a year. You can continue treating your scar with various methods. Topical options include silicone-based strips or gels. Most importantly, keep them out of the sun. For young,old, or deeper scars that have plateaued in their improvement, microneedling with or without PRP, fractionated laser, and radiofrequency make microscopic holes in the scar to stimulate your body to remodel and fill in the scar with new collagen. I especially like a combination of microneedling with a skin bleaching serum, and PIXEL fractionated laser or RF to resurface and build even more collagen. For large or more severe irregularities, a scar revision or re-excision may swap out your old scar for a less noticeable one in a single procedure. Not everyone is a candidate for all the treatment options however as certain skin types can get worse from certain treatments. For the safest treatment plan, it is important to visit an expert for an in-person examination. Hope this helps! Johnson C. Lee, MDBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Scarring post Liposuction Dear Beverly Hills,Some surgeons make larger incisions with their Liposuction and BBL, but really they can be quit small. Hiding into a tattoo, not along side it is another way to minimize the look of a scar. If, however, you did get larger scarring, microneedling with prp can help blend the hyperpigmentation and textural changes.Best. Dr Brecht Seattle, Wa
