I did it 3 yrs ago this December.  Scars look different, depends on how large you are and what you go down to. I was told I'd probably be a C (small, average or full C, but a C), but I'm a small D.  But I was a 36G or larger on a size 6 or 8 size body, that is a lot.  I had back pain, shoulder pain, etc.  Mine was covered by medical ins.   It was day surgery (8 hrs in and out total) and they took off a total of about 3.5 lbs of tissue between the two.  Scarring is inevitable and I scar easily. So I couldn't fairly say what it is like. They had to do the most comprehensive reduction because of my size so my incisions go pretty far onto the side of my torso.  I had a friend who had it done and she showed me her scars 5 yrs after so I could have an idea and I could **barely** see them, her incision scars were much smaller and shorter. Another friend did it and the incisions were far less than what I had, hers looked way better one week after she had it done(she showed me).  I'd do it again in a heartbeat for the confidence I finally have and "feeling within the realm of normal" for a woman's figure.  It's life altering.  I feel attractive now, not googled at by men. and scowled at by women.    What size are you now?

It depends on the nature of the scaring, depth of it, several treatments are available and you need to visit a skin clinic, treatments such as microdermabrasion and skin peels can help eradicate scaring and most treatments are not painful e.g microdermabrasion.  Do a search for all different types of treatments avalable online, choose a clinic book an appointment to see a specialist and they will  direct you to the treatment which will best suit your problem.(you dont have to go under the knife)

mederma, and/or vitamin E oil...it takes time for scars to heal. time is harder to take for the face, but it will get better!!!

severe heat or strong acid/base will burn them right off.  Anything that leaves a scar will alter them.

There isn't one known, at this time.\n\nGetting an adequate supply of protein in your diet (good quality protein) will provide the necessary building blocks.\n\nIt's not going to do diddly for the depressed scars.  Those are the product of a normal reparative process that didn't quite get the tissue back to normal.  You might consider seeing if a plastic surgeon will inject a little collagen in the area, if it's cosmetically embarassing, but I'm toting a pretty significant number of scars, most of 'em covered by hair or clothing, and the visible ones, no one seems to notice.

I had a really bad burn in 2003, and the scar is still a purplish color.  Burn scars are the worst and take a long time to heal.  Silvadean (sp?) is really good, but it is super expensive.  Another thing for bad scars is just to keep it out of the sun and elements.  During the summer, be sure to put lots of sun screen on it.  This is for a bad burn...I don't know how yours is.

Surgery: Sometimes surgery may be required to improve the scar. In this case, the surgeon will remove excess scar tissue, and reposition the incision so that it heals in a less visible pattern. This scar removal surgery is usually done under local or general anesthesia in the doctor's office.\n\nCreams/Massages: Treatment using special creams are applied directly to the scar. The cream softens the scar tissue and promotes healing by working on the collagen fibers and realigning them. Massage may also be recommended, especially after breast surgery. This also helps to break up the scar tissue.\n\nLaser: Scars, especially old scars, may be treated with PhotoDerm, a non-invasive, laser-like device that emits an intense flash of light that works directly on the scar by reducing the blood vessels present in the scar tissue.

No. The scar will probably be lighter than the rest of your skin. I suggest that you seriously think about the possibility that you may regret it. Does it really bother you? Do people mention it? Have you ever been teased?\n\nI would probably leave it alone.

A doctor told me to poke a hole in a vitamin E capsule and rub the oil on the scar. When the wound first heals, do it often. It won't go away completely but depending on how bad it is, maybe it will lighten so it can hardly be seen.

There are some over the counter products that can help with scarring.  Ask a local pharmacist and they should be able to recommend something.\n\nAlso, try Mary Kay Microdermabrasion.  It gently removes the top layer of skin and I know a lady who has dramatically reduced the acne scars on her face by using it.\n\nGood luck to you.

I have the same thing. I found that scar gel is very helpful. You can find it any pharmacy. Apply it for 2 months (or follow the instructions). They shoud disappear in time.

It varies from the different types of skin, i hav a scar, that wont ever disappear, however it has kind of faded through time. Just give it more time, if not try the soecial creams to make scars fade! Or better still go visit your GP, he'll advise you on what to do about it! Good Luck!!

I have had one removed.  They will shoot you up with local anesthesia, it doesn't hurt a bit.  Maybe a bit of pressure/pulling sensation, but no pain.  Use Neosporin scar solution or vitamin E oil afterward to prevent scarring.  Good luck!

Not a doctor, but you could use a butterfly plaster, that holds the skin together well, and when it's healed up, use BIO OIL, it's good for reducing the signs of scarring, for old and new scars
