Question
On February 8th 2006 I had a skin temporal lift. The scars are still pink and some of the scar is white. Can anyone tell me how long it will take for the scars to fade. My PS said it could take up to a year. I'm not too happy with the way the scars look. The PS said he could do a scar revision. Has anyone ever had this done and how is it done?

Answer
I don't know anything about skin temporal lift but I had breast reduction the first of Feb. and they told me to use Maderma which is Awesome ! I had a scar revision done June 12 it was nothing to it. and the scars that wasn't fading the way we wanted is looking really good now. It was worth it I think.
I don't know if I helped you any but Good luck

Answer
Thank you for the reply. It gives a glimpse of hope. How is a scar revision done? Is it done with another incision to correct the first one?

Answer
It is done with another incision but it is a small one that follows the old ones it is not rearly as deep and heals alot faster. The next day I wasn't even sore. And it did help ALOT!

I had my upper lids done in May 2005 and STILL have red scars. MY PS told me in September that everyone heals differently and that his scars stay red for a long time. Then he just said to come and see him in a year!!! I am NOT happy with the redness nor am I happy with his response. I really don't know what to do or if I just have to live with this.

I'd love to get a breast reduction and lift but now I am very afraid of the scarring.....

Best of luck to you in getting your scars to fade.
