Which treatment is best for minimizing the appearance of burn scars from previous surgery? Should I consider excision? (photos)

Giraffespots00Aug 22, 2023
During a breast augmentation revision surgery I was burned and cut. The smaller scar is the cut and the larger scar is the burn. This happened in December 2022. The burn was 3rd degree to give you an idea how deep it was. I want to see what you would suggest for scar revision. I've tried the genesis laser but I got burned again and it made the discoloration worse. Are there other treatments you would recommend or should I just excise them? Thank you

Laser Genesis will certainly help with the scarring, but micro needling is your better choice as it can penetrate deeper into the skin and rejuvenate all depths of the dermis.... Laser Genesis is best used as a supportive procedure between micro needling and also as a long-term preventative.
