I have obtained a number of scars following lipo abroad in the dominican republic in April 2017. 5 months post surgery, I went to a dermatologist, who was able to appreciate diffuse hyperpigmentation together with hypertrophic scars. I am interested in treatment to achieve the following: 1. reduce the size of each scar 2. Improve the discoloration around the scar. Can you please advise on the best treatments to achieve the above?

Answer: Liposuction port site scars Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from surgical scar revisions of your liposuction port site scars. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Hyperpigmented scars from Liposuction A combination of treatments would be advisable to correct these scars. The hyperpigmented areas need bleaching creams with Hydroquinone to correct this area and Kenalog injections into the keloid areas to flatten it out. Kelo-cote is a great topical product that also helps flatten out keloidal scars. Please consult an expert in keloids and scar treatment. Best, Dr. Green
