Whats the Best Treatment for Pigmented Liposuction Scars?

Hyperpigmented  or dark scars are common in certain ethnic groups. It is best to take steps that prevent them from forming. In my practice every patients starts a scar control program after surgery to prevent the scars from darkening. Some patients who know they form dark scars can pre-treat before surgery. Once the scars become dark they are more dificult to treat. Hydroquinone containing products work, but slowly. Chemical peells and lasers may also be used depending on your skin type. Often patients try different treatment for at least 8 weeks before changing to another. It can be a long process.

If topical creams such as BioCornuem (a silicon based scar treatment) don't work the the scar needs to be excised and carefully closed by a plastic surgeon.
