Dark bruising along previous c-section scar after tumescent lipo?

Thank you for your question.
It is not unusual to have increased bruising in scared areas especially if an incision was made over the previous C Section scar. This should resolve without problem.  All The Best !

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Best,

Post operative bruising and swelling are to be expected. Areas of scar tend to be slightly more resistant to treatment. For this reason, there may have been relatively more trauma as your surgeon attempted to negotiate a scarred in area. This should resolve over the 4-6 weeks following the procedure.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
