Hydroquinone for mommy make over scars?

Your #healing will continue for 2-3 months following the procedure(s) as the #scars will be evolving. If my patients have concerns that something is unusual about their healing process, it is important for them to call the office and discuss these concerns or come in to be examined. Also some severe scars can be treated with re-excision, laser, kenalog/5-FU injections, creams, silicone strips and other methods to reduce and improve healing. Additionally, scar therapy with scar maturation products (e.g. BioCorneum or Embrace) are suggested for managing scars. However, we recommend you wait to use scar improving products until a few weeks following your surgery.

Thanks for inquiry. Hydroquinone is best used a few months after surgery as it can irritate the skin.  Please discuss when your surgeon his/her timing, and good luck.

For my patients I have a scar cream I recommend but not hydroquinone especially so soon after surgery. I would stick with what you surgeon said and give it time. It can appear pink or red for 6 months so make sure you give it time! Best of Luck
