What is the proper treatment for laser burns after liposuction? (Photo)

April 22, 2016
Asked By:nineveh1 in Usadel, DE

I received a liposuction treatment earlier this month. All post-surgery symptoms seemed to be normal until what I thought were bruises started to blister and turned out to be burns from the laser. The surgeon prescribed silvadene but I've read that silvadene will do nothing to prevent scars. I didn't have stretch marks nor any scars prior to this procedure and would like to minimize scarring. Should I make an appointment with a burn specialist? How can I treat the burns to prevent dramatic scarring?
