I am over 2 years post op from my breast augmentation and although my results are fine I ended up with very bad scarring. Ive gone through various rounds of injections, lasers, and scar camo tattoos. Although the color is improving Im still really bothered by the indentation caused by tethering in one of my scars. It caused my underboob to have a square like appearance rather than round and it just looks bad at certain angles. Can I do a subcision on this scar to pop the tethering out? Some doctors are telling me to leave it alone one doctor told me he could do it. Whats the risk of my implant popping? Also would this be a risk of hyperpigmentation or keloiding?
I have had 3 aggressive CO2 laser treatments, as well as several other less intense laser treatments that required only the use of topical anesthesia to be tolerable. In totality, they gave me substantial (60%) improvement. Can these acne scars be further improved? If so, what other treatments might I try?
I have a scar from an eyebrow piercing 10+ years old. The photo attached is after several Morpheus8 treatments to reduce the visibility of the scar. It has helped and I realize the scar is not noticeable to most people but it still bothers me because some people do notice and ask about it. Would scar subcision be appropriate or would the area look worse from subcision?
I have tried microneedling in 2019 and Fraxel in 2010. My dermatologist recommended subcision since the acne scars are deep and have been there for 18+ years. DDo you think subcision will be successful, how many treatments do you think I will need, and how much recovery time? I am also concerned about infection since the scar area is large. Do you think fat transfer would be another option?
Depending on the lighting, my acne scars can seem either superficial or severe, and I can't tell! When I stretch my skin, they mostly disappear (maybe by 85-90%). I also can't tell what type of acne scars these are - I always assumed rolling, but could some of them be boxcars? How much improvement might I be able to see? Do I need subcision? Could I potentially go without it?
Hi, Im a 21-year-old female, and Ive struggled with chest acne since middle school. I have a larger chest and started noticing blackheads in sixth grade. Over time, my acne consisted of blackheads, whiteheads, and bumps under the skin, but now it has mostly left scars. I also have PCOS and recently started growing more hair on my chest. This hair growth has caused small holes where the hair grows and it is very noticeable. Im looking for treatment options, any advice is appreciated!
I have chicken pox scarring on my face, the scars have been on my face since childhood so they are not new. What is the best procedure to remove them or smooth them out? I want to avoid filler. I am aware that punch excision and subcision can leave scars but I would rather have a flat scar that I can easily cover with makeup and treat with laser after than the current chicken pox scars I already have.
