How can I get rid of my keloid scar? (Photo)

C
Candy.MyaSep 3, 2015

It itches and keeps on getting bigger. A year after I did my breast the keloid scar appeared and it is ruining my life. I hate it and I can't wear tops without bras because it prints through. I had tubular breast before and my doctor said the only the incision he can make is through my areola to correct my deform breast. I wish the incision was made under my arm to avoid this. PLEASE HELP!

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...

Keloids need dedicated care. I am one of the leading experts on keloid management in the country and I would initiate IIT and laser therapy. In addition, apply Plato's Scar Serum on the area twice daily. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Atrophic scars respond well to Ematrix, subcision, microneedling, and fractional laser. These are the top treatments for indented scars on the face. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
