Answer: Facelift scars These scars don't appear to be hypertrophic. They look like they are still healing, and are red - but minimally thick or raised. They should continue to heal, and with injections can usually be taken care of. The injections themselves can produce some of the redness which can then be treated with Intense Pulsed light. If the scar feels a little irregular there are other lasers which can help. A silicone scar cream such as biocorneum can also help with the scar.

Answer: Treatment of scars behind ears after facelift Hypertrophic scars after a facelift can sometimes be improved with injection of a steroid, as it sounds that you've had. Scars can take up to a year to heal fully, so it probably would be best to wait that time before considering any surgical revision. In most cases, this type of revision procedure could be done in the office with just local anesthesia.
