Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

hi dr lam.
I tend to have scarring on the temple area of my face and hardly any on my cheeks. Does this matter or is improvement still the same regardless the location.

the temple is an area that technically is one of the hardest to treat because the skin is so thin and there is very little subcutaneous fat there. it can look lumpy if injections are done wrong. i am very good with temple corrections because when using silicone micro i can pulse the injections with tiny droplets into the deep dermis to create a better lift that remains safe. as in all things dealing with acne scarring, results are never as good as one would like but improvement in this difficult area i think i can help you with after i evaluate your situation in person.

thanks for the quick reply doctor.
quick question, I also have scarring around my jaw line would it be possible to do injections around there.
Also I have hypertrohpic scars on my cheek .Do you handle these type of scars?

the answer is yes to the jawline. i handle hypertrophic scars with KTP laser and 5-FU injections.
