A member asked:
Please let me know if there is such thing as scar revision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, to improve the: Appearance of mature scars. Depending on your age, the mechanism of injury, and the location of the scar, it may take 6-18 months for a scar to mature (lose all its redness.) it may be possible to revise the scar at that time to make it less objectionable in appearance. Scars cannot be erased or removed, though.
