Question:
I have a scar on my cheek from being bitten as a child. It’s always bothered me and I’d like to see if there’s some way that I can get rid of it or at least improve it. I’ve heard of scar revision and was just wondering what this entails and how significantly improved scars can be.
Answer:
Depending on the size and orientation of the scar it can likely be improved by scar revision techniques. The techniques used include surgically excising the scar and repairing with a variety of camouflaging techniques or scar resurfacing with laser or dermabrasion.
