How Can Scars Be Removed from a Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure?

Question

If the scars from a Brazilian butt lift procedure are small, would a topical ointment (Mederma Scar gel) for scar reduction be enough to make them unnoticeable? If scar removal surgery is the realistic option, then how long after a BBL should that be done?

Moises Salama, MD · Answer

As mentioned previously, scars are forever lasting. There are products out there can reduce the color and thickness of the scar i.e. Bicorneum (best product out there) when used after the procedure. Used during post surgery, the high silicone content helps in reducing the scars lasting formation. Other than massage and these products, there isn't a way to totally remove a scar that has already formed. Best of luck.

Jaime Perez, MD · Answer

Scars following a brazilian butt lift should be minimal. I usually recommend patients to massage scars and use Mederma if they feel the need to do so. Again, there is nothing that can permanently remove a scar, keep that in mind. Best of luck.

Simple excision with tension free closure. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Dennis Dass, MD · Answer

All scars take 12-18 months to fully mature and fade.  You may place tape over the scars, silicone sheets, or a silicone based topical product for best results.  Scar massage is also helpful.  Scar revision surgery actually creates a larger scar, and should be reserved for very poor quality scars.

George Lefkovits, MD · Answer

The incisions used in the Brazilian Butt Lift are really quite smal being less than a quarter inch in length. However as with any procedure the scars will appear red during the initial months, indeed sometimes up to 1 year. I would not suggets using any products. You should be followed up with yuor plastic surgeon and if he ( she) feels that the scar may need some help then steroid injections and/or possible laser treatment may need to be considered.
