Divots and noticeable scarring - what would your recommend at this point? (Photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Hi,

Thank you for the question.

Based on your photos, it does appear that your have unfavorable scarring and contour irregularities in the lower portion of the breasts following your breast reduction surgery.

There is a breast reduction revision technique that can help correct unfavorable scarring by removing the old scars and creating new finger scars without contour deformity.

I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Reduction and Breast Revision surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.

I hope this helps.
Best regards, Dr. Karanetz
