Terrible scarring around ears and temples after lower face and neck lift. How do I fix this? (Photo)

Question

I had a lower face and neck lift 5 months ago and now I'm left with these scars, deformed earlobes, and some extra skin behind my ears. How do fix this?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Keloid and hypertrophic scars usually go through a stage of active inflammation. This process can be modulated to prevent bad scarring. In my office, we specialize in scarring formed by keloids and hypertrophic scars. Our approach is combination therapy, known as HIDEf treatment, which incorporates lasers, laser assisted delivery of corticosteroids, vascular therapy, and resurfacing. This can help reduce inflammation and scarring alongside the application of scar gels including Plato’s Scar Serum and Melarase PM.

Based on the posted photos you need in person or virtual discussions with new PS. Are you a scar former? The only way to improve these spread hypertrophic scars is revision completely with detailed closure. Expect fees in the $10,000 ranges.
