Can a buttocks implant removal scar be improved? (photos)

Question

I had buttock implants removed a couple of years ago and the scar from the incision is quite ugly. Is there a way to improve it?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

surgical scars can be improved in office with lasers and medical tattooing. start at home dermarolling now with emerageskin AERIFY x ANTEAGE roller (see link) weekly to help improve the texture as well.

Scars need aerify, enlighten, or Cosmelan peels post surgery. Vivatia foam, Restorsea 10x, skinceuticals phyto +, Cosmelan 2 cream, and reve skin fortified bleaching cream all help.

there are many options for hypertrophic/red/discolored scars:
1. vascular lasers (yellow laser, vbeam, excel v)
2. fractional lasers (fraxel, erbium, co2)
3. microneedling/PRP
4. silicone based scar gels with growth factors
5. excision

Best, Dr. Emer.

In my opinion, post surgical scars are often very treatable. They respond very well to fractionated lasers. It may take 3-5 treatments but it will improve both the tone and texture of a post-surgical scar.
