I'm 2.5 weeks PO open rhinoplasty - my scar is quite red, what is the best facial scar cream?
Answer: Recommend applying Plato's Scar Serum twice daily to the scar. Follow with VBeam laser treatment for redness Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Not to worry....... Scar redness (erythema) at 2.5 weeks postop is not unusual, redness typically fades with time. The more fair you are, the longer a scar seems to stay red. Protect your scar from excessive sun exposure and a scar fade cream/gel may help. I like Biocorneum, it is a scar gel that you put on the area two times per day, as the gel dries it creates an invisible silcone sheet over the scar. It also contains an SPF for sun protection. Hope that helps!

Answer: Rhinoplasty scarring Dear AshleyrebeccaFor redness in the columellar area , at around 2.5 weeks is normal as these scars can be red and in this area there is pronounced edema typically. A bio oil is appropriate or a scar fade cream, make sure you surgeon has a look to make sure it is just normal scarring. Good luck!
