Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A combination approach will give the most improvement. Subcision combined with lasers, microneedling/prp and fillers are needed to improve scars. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

A before and after picture will help guide us. Regardless, massage (hard massage) twice a day for 2-4 minutes per session may help. Take baseline pictures, then repost in 6 weeks - if swelling is still present, see your dermatologist or plastics who performed this procedure. Steroid injects, further release, Ultherapy focally can all help reduce the swelling. Dr Davin Lim
