What can be done with a lip lift scar. As you can see the scar goes into my nose and around the base of my nose .
Answer: Treatment of Scars with HIDEF Scar Protocol Scar revision requires a disciplined approach to address the different characteristics of scars including texture, color, level of inflammation, vascularity, and hypertrophy. Our office specializes in scar revision because we have both cosmetic dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and general surgeons within our center. The ideal scar treatment is combination therapy that incorporates vascular lasers, microfractional RF and laser, microneedling, Micro-ionization ablation, PRP, topical growth serums and polysiloxane topical gels, and surgery if indicated. I recommend Melarase PM for patients that have dark and discolored scars and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily for all new and hypertrophic scars prior to any treatment. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Fractional Resurfacing for Lip Lift Scar Hello Ash. We would only recommend a revision if you didn't get the right amount of lift out of your procedure. If you did get the proper lift then we would recommend laser resurfacing to improve the scars. We use the Sciton Profractional for revising lip lift scars and it works by removing tiny bits of the hard scar tissue that makes the scar look uneven. The body then places new collagen, smoothing and recontouring the area.

Answer: Lip lift scar with poor result. It is too early to say. At 4-6 months-see a very experienced lip lift surgeon for a revision after the redness is gone. If the same you will need to have this scar excised and closed without tension.
