Do i go to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for scar reduction?

Both can help : Both plastic surgeons and dermatologists can improve scars. Dermatologists stereotypically use modalities like dermabrasion or laser and surgeons typically excise scars if there is a contour irregularity or may also offer the modalities of dermabrasion or laser depending on their experience. Both teams can help- this is an area of overlap where your particular scar may make one more appropriate.
