Visible scars after lipo (love handle transfered to my butt) on 11 March 2022, what should I do? (Photos)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. 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 decide whether early subcision should be started.

Best,

Close up photos of particular scars would be helpful. In general, hypertrophic scars and keloids respond well to and algorithm of varying combinations, concentrations and amounts of intralesionally injected anti-inflammatory injections. You would be wise to make certain that you consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist as the treatment of these kinds of scars is seldom a one-size-fits all, one-and-done affair. Hope this helps and best of luck.
