Saline Injection to Reduce Redness from Silikon Injections, Last One Done in Beginning of March. No Bumps Just Redness.

Cookie17
i have localized redness from silicone. my dr has tried v beams, 2 IPL, 2 steroid shots, desonide ointment, predisone, and minocycline. had improvement in the redness but it never fully disappears. Been reading about saline injected into scars to clear infection and turn scars whiter as the blood vessels die. ANY ADVICE PLS. my dr does not realize how this is hurting my confidence wallet and creating depression. Anyone in nyc or nj that can help or try this? scars would look amazing if no redness
