When a person chooses to undergo liposuction to improve their appearance, they obviously want to be able to enjoy their new shape without having unattractive scars. While the incision site for liposuction is smaller than that left behind by many other procedures, early treatment is key to liposuction scar management. The most common scarring  problem with liposuction is dyschromia (discoloring), which can manifest as hyperpigmentation (darker scarring) or hypopigmentation (lighter-colored scarring).

Moreover, the removal of adipose (fat) tissue itself during the procedure can result in problem lipo scarring, since it removes the source of  lipids, cytockines, and other healing substrates. The best scar-healing results are produced with: 

• Silicone Sheeting and Hyper-Heal Cream one week post-op
• A .2mm derma roller and Hyper-Heal Cream daily for already-established discolored scars
