Can my donut lift scar be removed? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I had breast augmentation with a donut lift. Can this scar be removed with a laser or am I likely not to see much improvement?

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear shannobnanno,
for scars, I close all of my incisions in 5 layers and do not use absorbable sutures because they cause inflammation and worse scarring. I tape all of my incisions in the office visits once a week for six weeks after surgery to improve the appearance. After taping, I start my patients on a scar gel therapy for 3 months that they have to put on their incisions twice daily.You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon as different surgeons have different approaches in scar management.
