Hello It's been 9 months since my lip lift surgery. The scar is very noticeable and deep on one side. No cosmetics help to hide it and because of this I am depressed. I am thinking about doing cosmetic procedures to erase the scar, thinking about laser resurfacing and maybe subcision I had a keloid scar on one side that went away after a steroid injection. My question is, is it possible to do deep laser resurfacing and subcision 9 months after surgery?
I had a breast lift 7yrs ago & am unhappy with these scars: anchor-shaped, discolored, textured,& could use improvement (esp in crease). I'm determined to improve the scars. Some doctors have recommended surgical scar revision, but I'd rather not excise the scars & risk having them heal in the same undesired manner. Could doctors please recommend alternate mthds for treating 7 yr-old breast lift scars? C02 laser, steroid injection? As well as your opinion about how much improvement is possible?
Due to having lots of acne when I was a teenager, I have acne scars and enlarged pores on my nose and my nose gets scarred very easily. I have tried microneeding but I feel like it left me more scars instead. One doctor suggested me getting Co2 laser resurfacing and another one said Co2 doesn't work for this kind of scars but instead steroid injections(up to 6 treatments)will make scars less visible. Please let me know what you think. Thank you so much in advance.
I got an infection from a nose filler(06/11/2022). And it causes me a scar in between my eyebrows. Im getting married in November 2022.

I am 21 years old. My skin is damaged because of extended use of topical steroids for eczema and rosacea. After stopping the cream I now have steroid induced acne, fine lines, large pores and thinned skin. My doctor has prescribed doxycycline and antihistamines to calm the acne down. He then wants to move forward with laser resurfacing or microneedling. Is this a good idea? Will it further thin my skin or will my skin be able to regenerate itself since I am young? Thank you doctors.
62 yr old. Recovering from full face lift eye and eyebrow lift. Had one Co2 laser treatment done a month ago. Peeled normally, but the redness didn't go away. Iced, Aquaphor, vinegar baths. Sides of my face have marks where the laser went, lighter spots on my chin and a few areas where the skin rubbed then bled. Have areas where blood spot has dried but afraid to do anything to it except alcohol. Dr. prescribed a steroid cream, which took redness away some. Looked like I went through a car windshield.
Dear RSelf, I got a hypertrophic scar after acid burnt. I had steroid injections 8 times but it didn't work. The first picture is my scar after 8 steroid treatments. As steroid didn't work for me, I went to another doctor to have my scar treated with laser co2. The doctor flattened my scar and extended it too. You can see in the 2nd picture. I wondered why he did it. Did he do it on purpose or was it a mistake? I'm nervous that my scar would be bigger after healing. Please help me Thanks a ton!
Im 30 y/o W F -Deka Dot Matrix Resurface about 7 wks ago A week after procedure I turned so red w/intolerable itch I was out & I started sunscreen. I dont know what made me so red.

I am 11 days out & still have extreme redness. I am black Irish & scar easily & tend to hyper pigment. What product do you recommend to treat the redness as I would like to be proactive? I am using aloe vera directly from the plant & this help to calm my skin. Would a prescription steroid cream help to reduce the redness or make it worse?
Hey Drs, I had a Co2 treatment and it didnt even cross my mind while being treated and the weeks following that I was taking prednisone 25mg a day for the couple days, then 12.5mg then 6mg. Will this have sabotaged the results? As I understand steroids effect wound healing? Was hoping for it to be the last co2 session but unsure if me not paying attention has jeapordised it. Kind regards
