Internal or external: Internal scar tissue can cause pain that can lead to more surgery which can lead to more scar tissue. It can become a nightmare. An ugly external scar could be re excised or treated with a fractional resurfacing laser or both for cosmetic reasons. If the external scar is a keloid, then treatment is more complicated than just cutting it out.

Yes---BUT: Technically scar tissue removal following spinal surgery can be performed, but, have indepth discussion with your spinal surgeon. Regeneration of the scar tissue may occur to even a greater degree. There are new barriers to decrease scar tissue formation such as amniotic tissue called biodefense. Talk to your spinal surgeon. Get a second opinion.
