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"'

Answer: Embrace Scar Therapy Sorry for all of your frustrations. All of my breast lifts and reductions receive 5 sessions of embrace scar therapy to ensure excellent scaring. I think that if you are still experiencing keloid scars and dislike the appearance of your scars, you should have the scar revised and the embrace dressing applied. Best of luck

Answer: Keloids Keloids have a variety of treatment options depending on their size. Very small or early keloids can be conservatively treated with pressure therapy, steroid injections, and or silicone therapy. Larger keloids may be better treated with surgical excision together with steroid injections to prevent additional keloid formation. Regardless of the treatment plan, keloids frequently recur and there is no guarantee that they will be gone permanently. For the best treatment options, it is important to visit an expert for an in-person examination. Hope this helps! Johnson C. Lee MD Plastic Surgery
