I had liposuction and one of the drainage scars on my side turned into a keloid. I had a steroid shot and it is flat now for a few years but it’s a hideous large scar. I was wondering if I could do microneedling to fix this like you could to a normal scar or if it could re aggravate the growth of an inactive keloid.
Answer: Can microneedling fix a keloid scar Hi and thank you for your question. I am my own experiment in using my microneedling for a keloid. I micro needled my own keloid on my right forearm for a keloid scar that developed after an excision of skin cancer. I was disappointed that I developed the keloid as this has never happened before. I did two sessions about a month apart and gradually it smoothed out and looks like a normal flat scar now. So, the answer is yes, in some people it can help. The important question is that all microneedling is not the same and the type used along with our growth factor serum is what made the difference. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Liposuction scar Thank you for your photo. It appears that you no longer have a keloid however you have a wide atrophic scar. Microneedling will not remove this scar. This scar is better treated with an excision and re-closure to exhange the oval scar for a thin line. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD
