Can you do subcision on acne scars in areas of your face that have been previously injected with fat grafting?

Question

Is it possible to do a subcision procedure in certain areas of my face for acne scarring, if there has previously been fat injected under there without the use of subcision before?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, as long as the fat grafting has healed, subcision can be performed. For acne scarring, I recommend a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision and fillers. See an expert in acne scarring for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

Any treatment can be done in the area of acne scarring as long as you are out about 6 months from the grafting. I prefer Bellafill to fat grafting because it is more reliable and more precise.

Karol A. Gutowski, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, subcision can be done after fat grafting as long as enough time has passed for things to heal (at least 3 months).
