Had Taylor liberator subcision in March 2021 for acne scarring and have scar tissue which has caused inflammation and swelling in both cheeks. Dr has tried steroid injections. Had MRI which says oedema and scar tissue and I just have to wait for it to heal. No improvement so at a loss. Any suggestions?
Im considering flying to the USA to get acne scarring treatment which compromise of 4 methods: phenol cross, subcision, fillers and erbium laser. I feel incredibly nervous as this is a very sensitive subject for me. Ive seen the post swelling of patients and its really intense. Im not sure if swelling is due to subcision but Im wondering if this step is even needed for my case. Can you please advise ?
Hi, I had Taylor Liberator subscision around 8 months ago. After the initial swelling went down (about 4-weeks), I was left with lower face swelling. When I feel it, it is soft and slightly squishy. My Dr is insisting it will go away and is just soft tissue swelling/edema, and is treating with steroid injections but I have had about 4 lots of injections with no change to the face swelling. I was wondering if anyone else had thoughts on what it could be/treatment?
after subscision i can see the change in scars but 20-30% of the swelling is still there and it is not coming down at the end of 7th day. while touching feels like something stuck in there. Is it normal and will come down eventually and its my mind suspicion or there is something wrong??
i did subcission 2 month ago i have swelling on top of my lips it was big i massaged it lately its got soft and smaller but its still there plus i have scars in this area that wasent there is steroids injections will remove this swelling ? is there a way to grt rid of it ? and improve my scars ? ty
I have just had subcision today but my plastic surgeon didn't give me much advice on aftercare. All he has done has put a plasters on my scars and told me to wash my face tomorrow. Is it really just as simple as this, or do I need to know more? I'd like to know how long I should be keeping the plasters on for and if it would be best to apply ice or not, as swelling can be a good thing. Anything else I need to know?
I had subcision done on a surgical scar located on my face (cheek) about 2 months ago and it is still tender and a bit swollen around the edges of the scar which makes it more noticeable. Any suggestions on how I can get the puffiness to go down faster? I have tried ice and heat compresses which seems to have helped a little bit. I am also using lavender oil.
38 years old man, underwent bilateral acne scar subcision using Nokor needle. There is significant improvement in acne scars, however after about 6 months, there are 2 cyst like non-tender, non-erythematous soft swelling on both buccal areas with the size of 4x4 cm. Looks like some fluid filled cysts, however aspiration does not return any fluid or blood. No US or MRI is done. 1. What would be the diagnosis? 2. What should be the next step? 3. What would be the treatment?
