Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: I had an inverted T breast lift with another plastic surgeon. After letting my scars heal for about a year I went and had them lasered to try and make them less noticeable. What a huge mistake! Now my scars are darker and brown. It looks worse. If there is anything Dr. Corbin would recommend to help me I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Answer: Because there is no magic eraser to erase the scars, I would recommend cutting the dark scars out and starting over again with fresh scars. No surgeon can control or determine how a patient will scar. After surgery many of our patients use a topical formula called Scarguard. This is believed to help scars heal better.
