I had a "lift" about 9 months ago. I will attach photos to show scars. It's hard for me to wear my hair up or pulled back now, so I wanted to see what to do about these scars. Thanks!

Answer: Thick red scarves after facelift. Thank you for your pictures. This is the scars due to excessive tension at the time of surgery which produce a widened and thick scar. In my opinion you should consider steroid injections plus silicone gel therapy. If this shows minimal to no improvement and removal of those scars plus they use a silicone gel with injection of steroids and closure would be appropriate.

Answer: Scar management after facelift There are a handful of things that can be done to your scar, before considering a scar revision. First, massage is helpful. This should be done 3 times a day for about 5 minutes. Second, topical silicone-based gel formulations are helpful for color and texture. These include Biocorneum, Kelocote, Scar-Away and others. Lastly, small injections of a steroid called Kenalog can help to shrink the scar tissue. In addition to these measures, some lasers can be used to help with scar management. However, these should not be used on keloid scars. As a last resort, the scar would be excised and the area re-sutured.
