    Default scar reduction "surgery" does it exist?

    i think i need to do something about my implant scars. they are big and yucky. i dont like them. customers dont seem to care or notice. but i dont like them.

    im going back to tahiland in december, and im wondering , does anyone know of a surgical procedure where they can make scars dissappear?!

    lazer or something like that?

    creams, vitiman e etc, didnt seem to work.....well...honestly, i was just too lazy to put it on all the time.....hehe

    I watched DR. 90210...i know but it's a pretty good show. He actually fixed ugly scars from another surgeon who gave this chick implants, he did not re-do her implants!!!! So it seems do-able. Try to goole it, or ask a Plastic surgeons office.

    Good luck,

    Well, first off...your implants are still very new. It's going to take a while to have the scars heal up completely. Usually about a year...but, since you are not taking the time to put on what you were given for the scars...how do you expect them to look any better?

    Couple questions:
    1. When was your surgery?
    2. Where are your incisions?

    That would help in answering your questions...

    i had a heap of probs, and cut a long story short, one scar is ok, just a bit red, and raised, the other is the same, but also its kinda like indented a lil, i dunno, like a bubble.... i donmt know how to explain.


    thanks heaps. i want a quick easy way, surgery styles, noone of this cream stuff. too much effort!

    Mermaid...even if there IS a scar reduction surgery, you are still going to have to put the creams and all on them. The creams are what help the scars. I've never heard of anyone getting ANY kind of surgery that got rid of the scar without the after-surgery cream application...I think that you may be in for an upset.

    wow, out of curiousity (off of topic sorry)

    is it true that japenese men dont like implants? Can they tell and get turned off? Did you experience any of that while you were there?

    lol, i know i SHOULD put the creams on, but im too lazy....vit e etc take MONTHS to work at all, to me that seems like a whole lot of effort and mess for not a lot happening.

    maybe if there was some type of lazer (??) and then the after care was to put creams on id feel much happier, as the main scarring would be gone

    I think there is some kind of scar reduction surgery, mostly for stretchmarks and the like. A girl I work with said that her first time onstage in Vegas, a guy walked up to the tip rail and said "I can fix your stomach! I'm a plastic surgeon!" She was like uh fuck you. She has a badly stretchmarked stomach from having a kid, and she's talked about getting some kind of surgery on it. I'll ask her next time I see her.

    I have keloid scars around the peri-areolar incisions for my implants. I put creams on diligently and even used those silicone scar patches, the medical-grade ones, not the ones you buy in drugstores.

    I recently saw a dermatologist about the scarring and she recommended cortisone injections into the scar. I'm going for my first round on Nov. 2nd. Lasers work too, but not on large, raised scars.

    First of all, if your surgery was just in June you need to wait until you're out at least 6 months before making any assumptions about how the scar will turn out. I think moisturizing is great but Mederma is probably nonsense. Redness is the last thing to go away so if thats the problem it will likely fade. The laser works well for scars that stay red.

    Can anything be done for scars that have faded, but dimple the skin? (1 year old) I have a lower abdominal incision scar that is indented, so the skin above and below protrude slightly. The actual scar line is not bad, what is left can easily be covered with makeup, but because of the uneven surface it is still very noticeable.

    First of all..I think you ARE NOT too lazy to do what you need to do for yourself. Implants are a big deal as you know now. I'm sure there are sugerys..but I think the girls are right about them being NEW scars. What about looking into the surgery or I think some type of laser pulse light like you mentioned. But until then just use the creams and if your totally turned off by those scars you can use Dermablend with setting powder. That's what Dermablend was made for.
