Hypertrophic/Keloids post Neck Lift. Are there any treatments I should be following? (Photo)

Thank you for the question. Steroids will help reduce raised areas and PDL therapy will reduce the redness. Keep going with the medical treatments and wait until at least one year post surgery, it will likely improve significantly. The decision to proceed with scar revision surgery is not to be taken lightly as the problem can reoccur afterwards. I hope this helps.

This is common and can be treated with steroid/5FU injections and pulsed dye laser treatments. It will require a series of them.  Please see a cosmetic dermatologist with experience.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hypertrophic scarring after a face/necklift results from tension placed on the incision.  For this reason revision surgery is often unsuccessful. Cutting out the scar and placing more tension on the incision will often result in worse scars.At this stage you need to control the hypertrophic process with steroid injections, I would recommend Kenalog 40mg/ml on a monthly basis until they begin to soften and regress.  Pulse dye lasers are also helpful in the treatment.
