Will this look normal at some point? It’s 2.5 weeks old now. Had laser lipo a few weeks ago. My doc said I have a burn from it because fat was hard to get out.

Answer: Laser liposuction burn Hi and welcome to our forum! Laser liposuction burns are unusual, but they do occur. Treatment consists of debridement of non-viable tissues followed by a regimen of intensive local wound care. One looks for the development of granulation tissue, a beefy red vascular tissue, to develop, after which time the wound will begin to shrink and seal. Wounds of this nature may take 8 weeks or so to seal and a year to heal (lose redness and firmness). After the scar has matured and its final appearance known, revision is considered if the scar proves unfavorable. It is far too early to make this determination. Continue followup with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes...
