Is subcision by itself permanent? Can it be permanent with fat transfer?

In my opinion, subcision does produce permanent results. When performing subcision, it is important to have some adjunct to prevent the tethers from reattaching. We routinely ask patients to take baby aspirin one week prior to the treatment. If treating acne scars this is adequate to prevent reattachment. We give the patients  a suction device to assist. I believe fat transfer to be difficult when subscising acne scars. If treating larger areas, we may add a small amount of filler. The filler can prevent reattachment and stimulate additional collagen production. Fat transfer is appropriate here. Find an acne scar expert. Ask for pictures. Hope this helps. Good luck.

superluke77 Thak you for your question but a major part is missing.  I am assuming you are asking about subcision for Acne scars.  Although my answer will be in regard to acne scars it can be relevant to other areas as well.  If you subcise alone  more than likely the area will just collapse back upon itself.  Worse yet more scarring can occur.  Placing a filler  in the area after subcision can place a layer between the newwly formed space to help block the reattachment.  Both, fat and Bellafill would be great fillers along with subcision.  All the Best Dr B
