Acne Scar Removal
Acne Scar Removal
Acne, a common skin woe affecting around 80% of individuals aged 11 to 30 at some point, often leaves behind unwanted reminders: scars. While acne scars can be challenging to cope with, there are several effective treatments available to minimize or conceal them. This article explores the top acne scar treatments recommended by dermatologist Amy Kassouf, MD.
Common Surgical Risks
As with any surgery, there is a potential for bleeding and infection
Fat Necrosis
Some of the injected fat tissue may degrade, leading to the formation of scar tissue, known as fat necrosis. A higher volume of fat injected in a single session slightly increases the risk of fat necrosis.
Volume Maintenance
Over time, the body reabsorbs some of the injected fat, leading to a potential loss of breast volume. Additional sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
Limitations on Future Procedures
If fat grafting fails, the area used for grafting may become unavailable for future flap reconstruction surgery.
Brava Device Extension
The use of the Brava device extends the overall procedure timeline by several weeks.
Long-term Research:
While studies suggest fat grafting doesn’t increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence, further research with longer follow-ups is needed to assess its long-term benefits as a stand-alone breast reconstruction option.
Preventing Acne Scars
Prevention is preferable to treatment. To minimize the risk of acne scars:
- Quit Smoking: Smoking can worsen scarring.
- Hands Off: Resist the urge to pick or squeeze pimples to avoid worsening scars.
- Early Treatment: Address acne promptly to reduce scar formation.
While scarring can occur at any age, individuals may become more aware of past scars as they age due to weight loss or changes in skin elasticity. Seeking professional treatment can yield significant improvements, even in adults seeking long-awaited solutions.
