How soon can I receive laser scar removal after a breast augmentation?

April 10, 2016
Asked By:DDandUP in Los Angeles, CA

I am curious how long I would have to wait to receive laser scar removal treatments to reduce the appearance of my future incisions. I have brown skin and will be going in for a breast lift with implants so unfortunately I will have many scars.
