What scar removal options are there? (Photo)

You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist to discuss the use of intralesional injections of trimacinolone. This anti-inflammatory agent is the go-to agent for shrinking all kinds of overgrown scars (such as keloid and hypertrophic scars--from all causes (including surgery, trauma, infection, and acne). Best of luck.

We would recommend hypertrophic scar modulation. Start with twice daily application of Plato's Scar Serum followed by vbeam laser, fractional laser assisted delivery of corticosteroids, and keloid therapy.

Dear jenjulissa,
scar prevention begins in the OR during the surgery when I meticulously close wounds in multiple layers in order to reduce tension and reduce scars width. I tape my incisions during the early postoperative period to reduce micromotions of the tissues so the incision can heal earlier. I also use compression garments and later Biocorneum gel.
