What's the best scare cream?
Answer: What kind of scar cream do you recommend after a facelift? Hello! Thank you for the question! While tattoo is an option, it typically is not necessary. It is common for scars to fully mature for up to a year. In the meantime, there are a few things that may help to ameliorate your incision/scar. The most proven (as well as cheapest) modality is simple scar massage. Applying pressure and massaging the well-healed scar has been shown to improve the appearance as it breaks up the scar tissue, hopefully producing the finest scar as possible. Other things that have been shown to add some benefit, albeit controversial, are silicone sheets, hydration, and topical steroids. In addition, avoidance of direct sunlight to the incision will significantly help the appearance as they tend to discolor with UV light during the healing process. If unsightly scars are still present after approximately a year's time, other things that your surgeon may consider are intralesional steroid injections, laser, or just surgical revision of the scar itself.Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Plastic Surgery scars need topical therapy Cosmetic surgery procedures require a disciplined approach to scars, whether or not the incisions are placed on the face or body. In our Los Angeles plastic surgery clinic, we recommend that patients follow basic wound healing guidelines followed by the application of Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed. If the incisions are prone to pigmentation, addition of Melarase PM is required. After a few weeks, the skin heals over and laser therapy is initiated to further improve scarring. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Scar creams do not work. The best way for a good result with a scar after a facelift is to leave it alone. Avoid rubbing it, keep it out of the sunlight, and keep it lubricated.

Answer: What Scar Cream Do you Recommend The best scar cream is the one that actually has a moisturizer agent. I prefer a scar cream that is applied twice a day. I would use a cream that has Vitamin A, C, E and also Aloe Vera for soothing. This is for normal scar wound healing.
