Hello docs, is 17 young enough to have acne scar surgery?

Young enough?: I'm really sorry you ended up with acne scars. It must have been severe, and it should have been managed like any other serious, chronic disease. You're basically grown-up now, and you need to be under the care of a competent physician for acne until it self-cures. Once it's managed, surgery for the scars is your choice. Best wishes.
