Question:
I have a deep scar on my face from an injury about a year ago. What are my options for having this area filled in and minimizing the appearance of the scar?
Answer:
There are many different ways to improve a scar. The choice depends on the location, shape, direction, length, depth and pigmentation of the skin. Techniques include simple excision and closure; filling the scar with Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra or Radiesse; excision and closure with a scar “irregularizing” technique or resurfacing the skin with dermabrasion or laser.
