Lip lift revision. Any suggestions?

Lip lift scars can be white and visible. Hidef protocols can help with visible lip lift scars on the face. I see a lot of these in my office in Beverly Hills. Surgery is often not needed if lasers and HIDEF scar revision techniques are introduced. 
In our office, we combine treatments starting with topical pre-conditioning of the scars with Plato's Scar Serum for hypertrophy and Melarase PM for pigmentation. Fractional RF, laser, and micro fractional RF can help limit scar growth. Kenalog IIT can also help reduce scar thickness. For lip lift scars specifically, I use selective Hyfrecation to reduce scarring.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss the advantages of the scar revision versus laser skin resurfacing. A picture would be helpful to see the crookedness of your scar. If your scar is in fact crooked, then a revision surgery should be able to provide you with a straighter scar. Also, you should be following your surgeon's recovery instructions because you may not be complete with your healing at this point and thus may experience additional changes to your lips and face. 



Best wishes,
