Do Lipo scars never completely heal ? And how long does it take for it to disappear?

Thank you for your question.  Everyone heals differently meaning that not everyone's scars will look the same.  To get a good idea of what your scars will look like, look at other scars on your body.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Small incisions are needed to do liposuction. Many times this can be put in inconspicuous locations. But any incision will leave a scar. Scars fade with time but everyone heals differently. Your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon should be able to go over scar care with you. 

Hi Sarah, Thank you for the question. First, liposuction scars typically are 5-10 mm at most,
and most they've completely and never require any additional treatment. The
lighter the base skin color, the less the scars will show. In a small
percentage of patients (less than 5%), problems can occur when there is over
healing or hypertrophy of the scar. This can be easily managed with silicone
gel scar management systems, steroid injections, laser treatments, or surgical
revision. Sometimes the scars remain red and again this can be managed with scar
therapy or laser treatment.

Scar tissue does tend to soften and stretch with time and usually takes
nine months to a year to stabilize. It never really disappears but it does tend
to subside. If you are talking about contour irregularities on the surface, the
same applies and it may or may not completely resolve.
