Bodytite scars.It is now six months after Bodytite and the scars are still there. Does anyone else have this problem? I knew it would take up to a year to see the tightening affect, but not to be left with scars. What can be done to remove scars and should this be done by the same doctor ? Has anyone else had this problem?
Answer: Scars Hello, and thank you for your question! Scars will last for about a year or two, unless you decide to get a lasering procedure on the affected areas. Multiple laser treatments will most likely be needed in order to achieve optimal results. You can go to your surgeon or another surgeon depending on your comfort level. They may tell you to wait until the scars are healed until you can get the lasering done. Please see my attached link which has more information on my surgical suite. Please be sure to see a board-certified plastic surgeon you feel comfortable with. Best of luck! James L.
