So its officially been 9 months since I had my first subcision and filler treatment done for atrophic acne scars with a decent amount of fat atrophy. And Im pretty sure that my scars have worsened. The scars look deeper than before Im not really sure why. Im guessing the fat atrophy just worsened with subcision and maybe subcision wasnt the right procedure for me at all. I think I might have benefited with filler by itself. Just a warning out there to others. Ive been on a never ending loop of research and trying to find the right scar treat for me. Ive spoke with people who have similar scars to me with a lot of fat atrophy and they all have spent 10s of thousands of dollars and the most improvement they said they got was about 10-15%. Im sorry but I think acne scars treatment is a losing battle. Save yourself from constant hurt and money spent and try to learn to accept it.
What an excellent comment you are a very good person...I have spent well over 30 000 dollars over 20 years constant reading and researching done nearly every acne scar treatment (except phenol peel which wouldnt help anyway) and just these so called cosmetic doctors who think they are experts but I know more than them lol stay strong it has affected and destroyed me but one day maybe I hold my head up high even though im 45 years old male...
The davin Lim fellow the so called world renowned acne scar revisionist is the worst scum of them all
My scars also in that time frame less than that lucky if they improved 5 percent!!!
3 minutes ago, pleasehelp321 said:Yes filler for me lucky if it lasts 1 month and ive done it 4-5 times over 20 years
at 5-600 dollars per 1ml - its a fraud
You should get some other filler. The recent filler is supposed to last 15-18 months. Mine has been there for more than 1 year and I can still feel it under my skin. I use juvemderm, which is probably 1000$ /ml.
I also had a Subcision by one of the self crowned 1% acne scar doctors
and my Scars worsen after that, I know some other people that also had bad results too. For me it is a scamtreatment I got lumps that are there after a year. I must say that I also got radiesse, but I think that the sub causedthe damage. I think these scar treatments are mostly scam. And dr. Lim and BA are the biggest Scams in this industry.everything that gets cut under our skin probably grows back together, I dont know why scar tissue shouldnt grow back together even if you use filler. And if it grows back there is a possibility that It will grow with less or to much scar tissue and it might leave atrophy or lumps if to much scar tissue is produced. But these doctors wants us to believe that these scar bands will just stay there without connecting with other tissue which is complete Bs. Maybetheyre really stupid or I dont know.Dr Penelope is the only doctor that did explain Subcision right I guess. She says its about creating more controlled scar tissue that lifts up the scar but how should a doctor control how much scar tissue will be there at the end ? This treatment is really risky and not so easy like lim always says also the complications arent super easy to manage.Redgarding BAhes active onReddit looking for customers for these 1% acne scar doctors so watch out.
Jason2121 i had treatments by the absolute so called best hands down acne scar surgeon dermatologist the lot Davin Lim who is not a doctor but a crook and a fraud
Jason2121 i wish I could meet u in person you have the exact same views as me...they have fleeced thousands maybe millions with their con artist tricks scams they need to be sued..
The BA i heard and read is Davin Lim the criminal
What where your results with lim ? Yeah Lim is a actor. Hes trulya criminal, he did even email me after I did criticize him to much, and theni wrote BA because Lim could only Get my Mailadress fromBA.I did never emailed Lim before and suddenly he stopped emailing me after he found out from BA that I dont like howmy data is moving from BAs hands to Lims.
And Jason2121 what do you think of the phenol croton oil peel from Dr Rullan? one of the only treatments i havent done for severe acne scarring? is it worth it coming from Australia to America as noone does it in Australia
And Jason2121 99 percent of these doctors are fraudsters and hence criminal I did all these procedures and still have severe scarring but not this...look at what they do different lihgitng and I wouldnt be surprised different person (at least I have guts to show my whole face despite being riddled with severe scarring)

I do think that is what happened to me too. I think the doctor cut everything beneath the skin because he did full face subcision when that was probably overkill. Im wondering if filler would be able to improve it on its own. I might ask my regular derm if she could maybe inject HA filler to see how it looks

It seems as if the subcision also made my skin less tight.

I have read some of your posts and I think what you need is therapy. Yes some doctors are sharks, especially in this industry (cosmetics), but they are not holding some magical technology in secret that is totally effective, they are working with the best they have access to.
Doctor Lim, from his youtube, seems passionate and informed about this topic, he makes sense and is interested. He goes out of his way to answer questions and educate on the nature of how scars work and how treatments work. If his treatments did not work for you, then perhaps we just don't ahve the current technology to deal with what you have (decades old, moderate scarring). You are also older, so your body has frankly diminished capability to change. Even those who never had acne (lucky genetic mofos) are not going to have good skin at that age.
Scars are not the be all end all, they are definitely not attractive don't get me wrong, they are a flaw, but focus on other traits that you can improve like your body, hair etc etc. What goes into attraction is more than one physical quality, its a multitude, andnot ONLY physical qualities matter (ofc they do matter).
I think you need to stop the denial and lashing out phase and move toward the acceptance phase.

What ? BA is a Reddit guru now?
All good comments everyone thanks yes I try to accept but at the same time I just want to see improvement on the bigger scars and a little less wavy skin...But The Lim fellow that is a crook check out the majority of his reviews lately and I know people personally (many) who have been hurt and stung by him...Many obviously now avoid him for acne scars treatment and in general I would stay well clear of him.
Ps - I know I will always have moderate to severe scars I accept that the damage has been done but I just would dearly love if my bigger scars can say for instance be made more linear and smaller and I defnitely know scars are forever and permanent but there must be some way to make them perhaps smaller or less obvious...
Iwishedto post this here as my surgeon pointed this out for me so I thought some of you might want to express your opinions but I am looking forward to what they will say later in the year once my subcision settles in which has really provided no results as well as many other treatments I have done...aka the mid face zygoma - I mean when I pull upwards the scars do look better will anxiously wait to see what they say...
Would like some thoughts?

I use Restylane Cheek Fillers$480 for 1 ml, you may need more than 1 mlI think let's wait and reassess later.My thoughts were to lift the mid face zygoma, so the light falls on the cheek and scars reflect the light at a different angle.That's just 1 suggestion. I am sure you will have a thinkabout it and see if it makessense to you.Would like some thoughts?
Is this the first time you get that filler?
Mate honestly you need help. Every thread I see you in you're criticizing a doctor you've never even seen. Do you really think this is the place to post things like 'its no wonder his wife left him' etc?
You're an interesting character, but I don't understand how a doctor on the other side of the world to you is able to live in your head so rent free?
That's all I'm going to say because I know you're suffering mental health issues, but I think its time someone called you out so that you may actually realise how psychotic this behaviour is. Its simply a waste of your time and your life to be on this weird crusade.
For the record I've seen Dr Lim and I had a pleasant experience. If you think I'm a marketing account (as you often label us) then look through all my posts over the years, there's some from years ago for example me enquiring about traveling to see a Dr in Singapore etc.
Maybe he overpromises results and I think that's true of any dr/beautician/surgeon, but anyone who has done research should go into these big doctors with realistic expectations, yourself included given the time you have spent here.
Its unfortunate you had a bad experience with Dr Emil but you should know that pretty much no one is going to get their desired results in one session. Similarly, you keep complaining about a lump, but how much can you attribute that to malpractice? There's always risk involved, and everyone's skin reacts differently - to me though it sounds like you'd rather just be a victim and put the blame of your bad fortune on someone.
Also in regards to this thread, I've had subcision 6 times from different doctors and really happy with the results, I didn't really notice results until after a few sessions though. There's tones of academic literature on the procedure over decades, has anyone here throwing out bad informationactually put it into google scholar and browsed the pages and pages of studies? I'm guessing no.
