What can I do for painful brachioplasty scars 6 months post op?

HI W39042, Thank you for your question about what you can do for painful brachioplasty scars 6 months post-op. I am sorry for your misfortune. Pain in any scar can occur, even in an arm lift scar. Most plastic surgeons would suggest FRAXEL laser, Kenalog, or 5-Fluorouracil injections, and Morpheus 8 treatments. If these conservative treatments fail, you should consider surgical revision of the arm lift scar. The arm lift scar revision could include direct excision, w-plasty, or z-plasty incisions. I hope that I have answered your question regarding painful brachioplasty scars 6 months post-op.
If you have any more questions regarding the arm lift, arm reduction, brachioplasty, or arm crease fat grafting, contact an experienced plastic surgeon.

Since an arm lift can be a challenging surgery, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing these types of lifts. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 arm lift procedures. Make sure they have the before-and-after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before-and-after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen, MD, MBA, FACS, FICS ( Plastic Surgeon, President of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Fellow of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American College of Surgery, International College of Surgery, and American Board of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and RealSelf Hall of Fame.)
