I received laser 2nd degree burns from my lipo surgery. What should I do to help lessen the appearance of scars? (photos)

Question

Also what is the cause i asked the doctor was the machine on too high, they said no, but did not answer why and how the 2nd degree burn happen. The nurse does not answer my calls anymore. I received silver sulfadazine and antibiotics.

What type of machine and settings were used? Was the doctor a boarded physician? Best to seek another boarded surgeon ASAP and some advise...

I am sorry this happened to you. First of all you need to be seen and treated by your doctor. If they don't help you then you should be able to find a plastic surgeon in your area who can help you treat the burn. Second, when the wound is no longer a scab, you can try to use scar creams to minimize it. I hope this helps, good luck.
