Can I get more opinions about using Advantan cream 0.1% on scars. Thanks.
Answer: Advan and scars Advan appears to be used for hypergigmentation. If that is your issue it should help. Normally an incision in the submental area heals very well and is not noticeable.Best of LuckDr. J

Answer: Steroid cream on a facelift scar. The effect of the steroid cream on a scar will be relatively modest but certainly should be used if your plastic surgeon thinks it is your best interest. There's not really much downside to it anyway.

Answer: Facelift scar Typically scars are treated with silicon gels, pressure bandages, or including silicon tape. Additionally treatment with a non ablative laser such as the V beam should improve the appearance of the scar

Answer: Scar A steroid cream applied topically can help with some scars. If the scar is hypertrophic or large there are many other options: injections with steroids and/or 5-FU and lasers. A picture of the scar would be helpful.

Answer: Facelift scars It would be very helpful to have a photo of the scar in question. Whether or not it could be treated topically depends on how it looks. In general, I use topical silicone stickers or silicone cream, and if I am going to use steroids, it will be an injection into the scar. I question whether or not topical steroid cream will penetrate into the scar sufficiently. Steroids can have unwanted side effects, so these must be considered. Another possibility is scar revision in the office. Really, without photos it is too difficult to guess. Post some photos and we might be able to give a better idea.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
