Plastic surgery can achieve some pretty amazing results. However, the prospect of having surgical scars is a big concern for most of our patients. Fortunately, there are many techniques that can effectively improve the look of surgical scars. Keep reading to learn about fading your scars with good aftercare and complimentary laser scar revision treatments in Dallas, Texas.
How Can I Make Scars Fade Faster At Home?
You have some control over how much your scars fade after plastic surgery. For that reason, it’s crucial to follow all of the aftercare directions provided by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rachel Walker. These guidelines were developed to support proper healing and optimal results.
You may be instructed to:
- Limit physical activity
- Minimize sun exposure
- Keep the incision cleanÂ
- Avoid scab picking
- Apply scar gels or sheets
- Avoid alcohol and nicotineÂ
Of course, factors such as your age and genetics also play a role in scar formation. That’s why, despite these precautions, you might still develop a raised, dark, or stretched scar. Fortunately, in-office treatments can supplement your at-home routine and improve your results.
