Is there anything that can be done to get rid of visible scars after butt implant surgery? (Photos)

Question

I have read so many forums and every doctor states the scarring from butt implant surgery is minimal because the incisions are made in the butt crack area. Well,not only are my scars large and conspicuous, they have caused me to have self esteem issues and reluctance to even have sex with any new partners. Is there anything that can be done for these horrible scars? It has been 2 years since I had the surgery.

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Dear deja_vu17,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You might benefit from scar revision. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Great posted photos. I would attempt scar revision surgery with adding PRF infused fat layers. In Florida any fat injected to buttock requires ultrasound guided injections. Fee for just scar revision with this low volume of fat grafts is $6,000. If desires more shaping of buttock with more fat grafting then fee increases to $10,000. Best to virtual consult with...
