Answer: Scar Revision after Gynecomastia Surgery
Thank you for your question and pictures.
There is no "scar removal" procedure but scar "revision" is an option. There are potential risks/ complications associated with any type of procedure so please make sure your surgeon goes over all of the potential risks/complications with you so that you can make an informed decision.
Sometimes scar revision improves the scar, sometimes the scar does not improve and sometimes the scar actually may become worse. I usually ask my patients to wait for at least 1 year post op to allow the scar to fully mature prior to scar revision surgery.

Answer: Scar Revision After Gynecomastia Surgery Hi rajesh,Thanks for the post and the photos. The scars unfortunately cannot be removed, but they can be revised. I would recommend waiting until you are at least one year post surgery before you have the scar revision. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
