A member asked:
My girlfriend has deep facial scars from accident laser scar removal will not work what other options would she have that would be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: Scar revision surgery is designed to replace a 'bad' scar with a 'good' one.Most plastic surgeons would wait until the traumatic scar has 'matured' before they would surgically intervene. Sometimes 'resurfacing' procedures (laser, dermabrasion, chemical peel) can be helpful.Sometimes surgically revising the scar is the best option.It can take a long time for some facial scars to soften and improve.
