I had my abdominalplasty and breast reduction 11-2-16. Most of my scars are fairly good. My TT scar is a little higher then I wanted and has opened a little so I'm a little worried about the scaring. So which laser treatment is the best for post surgical scars and when should I start the treatment.

Answer: Post op scars Waiting at the very least 6 months if not a full year is typical before revising any scar. In the meantime check with your surgeon about your options.

Answer: Laser Scar Removal Congratulations on your tummy tuck! There is no laser which will remove scars, only improve their appearance in some circumstances. The first thing to do is make sure your incision has healed properly. Then, there are some lasers available to improve the color, and there are others that are used to flatten a scar. I would continue to follow with your plastic surgeon and follow their recommendations on what to do and when.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
