Ricky007xx 0 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Did scar revision 3months back but the scar looks worse then before. What are my options??lazers i dont like.fillers will be good.. and your advice also needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Typical treatment for a scar like this is subcision with filler/botox and something for the texture weather a acid peel or erbium laser resurfacing once the area is raised. I have seen good results with botox (used as a spacer) and subcision, then worry about the texture as stated above. This area moves (muscles) so botox is necessary.

Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thnx sir.. and it is 3month old so when can i start a treatment? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Now, ... you can start treatment now. Especially Botox / subcision (you don't want the area to move). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thank you very much sir but my surgeon told me to wait for atleast one year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ok but get botox so it does not get worse, and a possible second opinion. 1 year is a long time. You can dermastamp it if you wish while waiting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hello i dint get u saying use botox. if i do subcision,before or after i shud use botox?? and do botox level the area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obi wan 454 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Best to see a scar specialist and they will explain in detail. Botox can be used to decrease muscle movement. An experienced specialist will subcise gently with dilute Botox, namely microinjections to break up the scar tissue. This is very different from cosmetic Botox (2-3 injections). If you find the correct specialist, they will break up the scars with microneedling manually. Then inject 4-8 units of Botox (or more) depending on your muscle movement. Another viable option is dermal filling with gentle subcision. The plane has to be exact as there are blood vessels that run deep in this area. Best to see in person, as dynamic movements must be taken into consideration. Static photos give some idea, dynamic assessment is Gold Standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hii thnx....one more question plz.. will tca cross improve it for now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 27, 2018 No you cannot tca cross this type of scar. You can dermastamp it and do small tca peels on it. The best treatment as I said was botox and subcision first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hmm..ok sir thnx.. sorry one more question last plz.. after i do botox and subcision,then after how many days later can i do filler??? and will the scar look good as my normal skin?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 28, 2018 When the swelling goes down, Could be a few days, to a week. Depends on your body. I cannot give you a percentage of improvement, it depends on the skill of your doctor (injecting, subcising) and how you heal. Filler will give it lift and acid peels or erbium will work on the surface texture. It will take some time and healing. Dermastamp can break up the scar tissue. You will get improvement.

Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hii..can u see that one side edge of the scar is raised??whats that??and how will it go down? will subcision n fillers level it? plz plz plz do reply Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Peels or laser help with this. It's from the way you healed and were stitched up. Subcision will lift the valley part then you can work on texture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hii..just a quick update. today i went to c differnt ps. She told me no use of subcision but try fillers(juvederm).. whats your say on this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted February 7, 2018 There must be a language barrier or misunderstading. To do Juvederm one has to subcise, but perhaps they are not aware of this. As this is not tethered you might get away with her doing "filler." Which is the same thing as I said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Will i get improvement with only filler?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted February 7, 2018 You'll get improvement, yes. But there will be texture issue to deal with after. Start with filler and well see how you do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Yes,she told me about it. will it become white?? i heard white mark is permanant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hiii. today i messaged my ps about scars turning white after fillers so she says it will be ok. and by the way will my scar match the colour of my normal skin overtime?(as it just 3months now). scar good invisible in some angle light and visible is some..wide in some n thin in some light. plz do reply Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted February 9, 2018 @Ricky007xx What are you asking? Your doctor says you will not have white after the filler. She/ he is performing the procedure. So get treated if you wish. Were talking filler here under a recent scar revision not a white scar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky007xx 0 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hello i feel ashamed to go out now here how it looks outside i saw it today itself.. plz give me a advice plz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Go get filler, ... is this with or without filler? You will need resurfacing weather laser or peels if it has been filled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
