Is it possible to get CO2 Laser on face with Medpor cheek implants?

Question

In July 2018 I had Medpor implants put into my cheeks. I have quite bad scarring from acne and large pores so am eager to have CO2. Is this possible?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It would be fine to have a CO2 laser treatment on the face with Medpor cheek implants in place.  The laser will not penetrate deep enough to affect the implants.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
