Steroid injections after scar revision/lasers didn't work how long until I see improvement?

January 10, 2017
Asked By:Just Me1111 in Los Angeles, California

I had 2 red scars from a boob job that I got 3 years ago. I ended up getting scar revision which at first made it worst, then I did a series of lasers 10 days apart and the scar now looks pretty much exactly like it did before I got the revision (wth) but now the scar is a kleboid scar. My dr. has just started doing a series of steroid injections..But yet again I'm not getting any answers from him about how long until I will see an improvement? And yes I realize that everyone "heals differently"'
