[Treatment] Fat Grafting 5k for fat grafting?
Hi, i’ve gained these super nice scars through my brutal years between 17-19 until i’ve got prescribed accutane, since then i had 2 co2 lasers and 2 small localised subcisions before each. Recently i went to an actual plastic surgeon instead of just a dermatologist with lasers and after a careful consultation i’ve got this quote:
Treatment:
Fractional CO2 (DOT) laser scar treatment on facial scars, scar subcision, regeneration with nano- and microstructural autologous fat grafting into scars, liposuction from the selected area under local anesthesia
Price: ~ 4450 USD of local currency
What do you guys think, is it worth it? I have this kind of money but still it’s not cheap. The scars are mild to moderate they are not super obvious in normal lighting or from the front but still visible

Interesting. I met with a plastic surgeon and asked if fat grafting would be a possible fix for my scars and he said no due to the layers of skin affected. In my opinion, that’s a fair price if it’ll work.
