I have a bad scar from a appendix surgery when I was in my 20s that is attached to the muscle beneath the skin and 2 smaller incisions below it they made for drains' and is sometimes painful doing exercises. So I decided to get a few consultations in the Chicago area.If anyone has any input on the procedure or a recommended Dr that would be great! heres a pic of the scar.

Posting more pics as suggested of the larger scar and the two lower ones approx one inch each that they made for drains'Using a camera phone so pics are not the greatest clarity

I don't have any advice on scar revision, but I'm also looking into it for myself. Have you checked into subcision at all?

just seems weird you took the picture from such a great distance, makes more sense to get a close up of the scar area.

It looks like you had a bad experience with your laser treatment and leave it at that. I was fortunate to get better results after my first bad outcome.People are on this sight to support and help each other with similar problems.I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you can find a solution to improve your outcome .

Had a disaster appendix surgery with postop infection, drains etc. Scar rvision went well but surgeon recommended Scarology. The surgeon was right- this was the key to an amazing result. I was so devastated and thought bikini's were out for me. I was using Vitamin E and my doc made me switch. I'm looking at a breast reduction and would absolutely make sure I had Scarology on hand. Apparently this is now a go to for scar revision.
