Scar Reduction & Prevention

Scars are inevitable. Our goals as plastic surgeons are to deliver you the best results possible with the most inconspicuous scars.  We take great care in planning your procedure to hide the scars whenever possible and to make sure that any visible scar appears as a thin, flat line.  As a patient, there are several steps you can take to make sure you get the best scars possible after your procedure.

Caring for Fresh Wounds to Reduce Scarring

Properly caring for a wound can help to reduce visible scarring.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting™ is a relatively new procedure that can help men and women get rid of stubborn areas of fat. Approved by the FDA in 2010, more than 2 million patients have since received CoolSculpting™. This innovative, non-invasive procedure uses extreme cold to target fat cells while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.

It is always best to be at your ideal weight, a weight that you can also maintain, before undergoing any type of body contouring surgery. This includes Mommy Makeover. If you undergo a procedure to remove excess skin, losing more weight afterwards will result in more excess skin. This may require an additional procedure to achieve your desired appearance.

Embrace Scar Therapy

Any invasive surgical procedure will result in a scar. The way a scar appears can vary and is based on many different factors. These include how an individual heals, their skin type, area of the body affected and the amount of tension on the scar. As plastic surgeons, we try to optimize a scar's appearance through meticulous techniques that avoid causing trauma to your tissue during surgery. However, despite our best efforts,there is no technique that allows us to perform surgery without leaving visible scars.
