I find Laser Liposuction to be helpful in 1)very dense tissue 2) Re-do Lipo areas and 3) areas that are more prone to waviness like the tummy and inner thigh...But just to release scarring from C-section, probably not. And if it is just the area of the scar, then I agree that more focused treatment of the scar to that area works best, like surgical revision...
Thank you for your question. Possibly release the scar if there is an adhesion from the skin, but other scar tissue may occur. I hope this helps.
Laser liposuctions can melt fat but don't help scar tissue at all. During any liposuction, the doc can subcise the c-sec scar easily to free it up so it isn't indented. It is an easy procedure under local anesthesia. If you've got scar tissue, don't waste your money on laser lipo. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
Indented C-Section scars can be released and greatly improved during liposuction or SmartLipo. When combined with liposuction, depressed scars are usually greatly improved. If the scars are raised (hypertorphic or keloidal) Fraxel Laser & steroid injections work best in my experience.
C-section scars are often tightly bound with the skin adherent to the underlying connective tissue and muscle layer giving an indented look. Fat then accumulates above and below the indented scar. Doing liposuction to reduce the excess fat can greatly improve the appearance. Also, the liposuction cannula can sometimes be used to carefully release the bound skin from the underlying muscle and connective tissue. A laser may have value in skin tightening, but not in removing the scar tissue.
