How to improve this chin implant scar? (Photos)

Hi 34,
Just looking at your photos (and not seeing you in person), I’d say laser resurfacing of your scar is the best option. You will likely need about 3 treatments for the best results. Go to a board certified dermatologist who has done advanced training in lasers if you want to ensure you get the best result. In other words, choose the doctor first (not just the company that makes a specific laser). If it’s a great doctor, you can be assured that she/he will use the best laser on you.
Hope this helps!

I'm sorry that this has happened to you. I typically advise robust HA fillers for chin augmentation, rather than surgical implants, owing to the frequent need remove to remove and replace resulting from changes in the surrounding tissues with aging or to undesirable results (as in this case).
In this case, if the scar is elevated, it can usually be flattened by intralesional injections of an anti-inflammatory agent, such as triamcinolone. Once this is done, professionally performed microneedling (no need for the added expense and risks of RF microneedling) can be used to improve the superficial color and texture of the scar. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist and best of luck.

Improving the appearance of a chin implant scar can be a challenging process, but there are several options to consider. Since you've already tried microdermabrasion with some success, you might explore additional treatments to further enhance the scar's appearance. Laser therapy is often recommended for scars, as it can help reduce redness and improve texture. Different types of lasers, such as fractional lasers, can target specific layers of the skin to promote collagen production and smooth out raised or bumpy areas. Consulting with a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon who specializes in scar treatment can provide personalized advice based on your skin type and the characteristics of your scar. They might also suggest other options like silicone gel sheets, which can help flatten and soften scars over time. While threads are sometimes used for skin tightening, their effectiveness on scars is less clear, and they may not address the specific concerns you have. It's important to have a thorough discussion with a specialist to understand the potential benefits and limitations of each treatment option, ensuring that you choose the most appropriate method for your needs and expectations.
