Is there any way to reduce liver transplant scarring or remove it? (Photo)

Question

I’m 19 years of age and have had 2 liver transplants due to biliary atresia. My first transplant was back in 98 and the second in 2012 my scars have made me really selfless conscious especially the long one by my rib cage is there anyway they can be less noticeable??

Surgical scar revision is an excellent option to help reduce scarring on the abdomen. Liposuction may help contour the soft tissue. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

This can be improved with a combination approach of lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
