I’m about 150lbs, 5’2 and the only thing that has stopped me from getting plastic surgery are the scars. I’ve seen a lot of really bad scars that make it super obvious that they had work done. Also are there tips and tricks to minimize them?
Answer: Scars are very minimal. Recommend doing laser treatment to make scars less noticeable. Pair with Plato's Scar Serum Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Scars from liposuction At consultation, your surgeon can predict the likelihood of you having bad scars and the number you will require. Bad scars can be minimized by choosing inconspicuous locations, avoiding injury to the skin during the procedure and properly caring for the scars after surgery. It is far more likely that a result will be 'obvious' because of contour irregularities rather than skin scars. Perhaps you have seen a 100 liposuction patients, but only recognized that liposuction had been done in the two patients who got bad scars?

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question. Typically liposuctions scars are well hidden in the belly button, bikini line, etc. The scars are usually very small depending on the cannula used. It is important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for individualized advice

Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. The port sites for liposuction can be placed under the bikini and are very small. I recommend biocorneum applications after surgery which can help with the scarring. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
