This is interesting topic, subc with or without I d like to know too .

"I usually combine subcision with bio-stimulatory / collagen boosting fillers for best results.

This is because studies have shown that there is 20% chance that the fibrous scar tissue might "re-form" during the recovery process after subcision. Fillers help to decrease this risk. "

Well 20% is not that much imho, dont know if its worth money, fillers help to decrease the risk of scars rethetering but they wont prevent it 100% .

I must say I personally had 4 subcisions , 2 with filler, 2 without filler but combined with Genius RF on same session, i have very nice improvements.

One deeper scar howeverdidnt improve without filler after first subc, it retheterd after 1 week andno improvement whatsoever ( problematic zone for filler so i didnt want to take risk ), so 2nd subcision with filler dr used filler as spacer even for that problematic scar, and it improved quite nicely, so it probably really dependson what your dr prefers as methodand on type of scar, your healing abilities and so on.

I d like to know what other people here think about filler as a spacer ( not creating volume ) used after subcision.

I know f.e. Prof Chu in England said filler prevents formation of collagen, and after it dissolves scars show very little improvement so he didnt use filler after subc.

Also I must say i spaced 1st and 2nd subc 4 months, 2nd 3rd6 months, 3rd and 4th 6 months, and while filler still present scars rethetered to some extent so dr had to cut it again , so....

I also red 1 study, but cant find it just now, that they compared results subcision with and without filler, and in long term subcision with filler didnt give superior results compared to subc without filler.

You probably gonna listen to ur dr and trust him.

I was just curious what your thoughts are? Has anyone had good results from subcision without filler? How many sessions did you need? Any other techniques or products I should try to keep the scars from re anchoring? Cupping?

 

Yes, get filler, but not as a spacer but volumizer.

First, get the subcision. Then wait 2 weeks or until the swelling is completely gone. Then get Sculptra with either RF Microneedling or Fractional CO2. Studies have shown when you couple Sculptra with energy devices, it enhances collagen remodeling.

Don't do Erbium lasers for your scars. Erbium is too weak and you are just giving away your money to the doctor. I've only seen Dr. Lim do aggressive Erbium treatments, but CO2 is the laser you want - after you have tried manual methods like subcision and TCA Cross.

He said it might help in the short term, but also cited a study that says temporary filler does not make any long term difference in the healing of these type of scars.

Do you happen to still have the study? I'd be curiousto take a look. May I ask, who your doctor in Norway is? We are being told there aren't many doctors who treat scars in Europe, but there actually are. Some of them have years of experience and very skilled inthe standard treatments, they just don't advertise or get promoted heavily.

To answer your question, subcision has recently been offeredin combination with tumescent anaesthesia, which is supposed to prevent re-tethering as well as provide better pain control during the procedures.You literally don't feel a thing even during otherwise very painful co2 or rfm treatments. It comes with a pricetag, though.

Here is the study:

study on subcision with/without fillers.

The doctor is doctor Wenus in Drammen (near Oslo). He is mainly a mole removal specialist and an ear nose and throat doctor but he also has lots of experience with cosmetic procedures - just doesn™t advertise it so much. Norway has kind of a complicated relationship with cosmetic surgeries, which is why many doctors who perform them don™t advertise so much. I had a great experience with this doctor

Thanks for sharing.

You've had very good improvements so far, by the way. I'm looking forward to seeing even more results from the upcoming treatments!

Hello. I had sub cision without filler because my scarring is on my neck below jawline overlying the platysma. The reason the derm didn't want to use filler for now is because the powerful and large muscle in the neck can easily cause lumping and moving around of the filler in comparison to face.

Is there anything I can do to help prevent the chance of rethering between treatments? It's too early to see results for me and I am doing up to 4 treatments.

Can I buy a suction from somewhere? Anyone know? Would massage help?

Did anyone have filler done on neck jawline scars?

Some people have done cupping. Browse the forum and you'll see a number of posts where people talk about that. I personally haven't tried it.

20% sounds way too low. I feel like there were as many tethers my 2nd subcision as the first one
