How can I remove keloid scars under buttocks after BBL? (Photo)

Question

I had a bbl 7 months ago and all my scars have healed well other than the 2 under my bum cheeks. They are growing each day and are raised and dark. I have been using silicone gel for the past 3 months but they still continue to grow. I really want them gone is there anything I can do? If there is a treatment for it roughly how much does it cost?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

The treatment of scars on the face and body follows a protocol-based approach in our office. We start by characterizing the scars in terms of redness, atrophy, hypertrophy, size, volumetric biometrics, and color hyperpigmentation and then devise a customized protocol for you. Our Hidef scar protocol uses micro fractional and fractional RF, fractional laser, sublative RF, vbeam therapy, injection based IIT, and scar modulation. Scars that exhibit growth should begin treatment with Plato's Scar Serum twice daily followed by Melarase AM and Melarase PM for dark and discolored scars.

Hello,
Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. Keloids can be removed from your surgeon. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed plan to achieve your desired results.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

at home you can do cosmelan peels with vivatia to help and that often is enough.  however, in the office you can do lasers and injection (steroids) or you can revise this with surgery.
Sometimes the full scar needs to be surgically revised and this just entails surgically/cutting removing and restitching the scar with or without radiation or steroid injections/5fu.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist/plastic surgeon.  Pigmentation can be treated using cosmelan peel or lightening creams such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, retinol.  Non ablative lasers like fraxel combined with vascular lasers such as excel V, yellow laser, v beam/pulsed dye laser, venus versa IPL also help if  you want to try and avoid surgery.  Microneedling/prp can be added to the lasers or skin care to help the color, texture and tone.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a surgical scar revision of your BBL port site scar.  This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   
 
 Best wishes and good luck.

Dear Phenomenal924576,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
