How can facial scars be removed?

Question

After the stiches removed from the face wound when can you put some make up on the scar?

Answer 1

Improve not remove: There is no way to definitively remove facial scars. In some cases, larger scars can be directly excised and improved. In other cases, a variety of techniques may be used such as cross tca, medical roll cit, dermabrasion and laser. Subcision and filler, prp and other techniques can also play a role. Most therapies involve a combination to work syngergistically to improve overall appearance.

Answer 2

Treatment vs removal: Scars can be treated based on their characteristics, location and age. Options include scar revision, dermal fillers, lasers, dermabrasion, peels, etc. Obviously these recommendations must be customized for you. Seek out a board certified facial plasti surgeon.

Answer 3

Depends: Treatment has to be customized and in most cases it may improve rather than remove the scars. There are various options available ranging from prp to fillers to dermabrasions to dermarollers. Consult a cosmetic surgeon near you.

Answer 4

Yes: A bad scar can be excised and may improve the cosmetic appearance. There will be a fine line there even in the best circumstances. Some people get hypertrophic scars called keloids and may benefit from steroid injection.

Answer 5

No: Scars can be moved, changed, improved, worsened, injected, but they cannot be removed.

Answer 6

Scar Revision: They can be removed but will be replaced with another scar. Of course if this is done properly, the new scar can be much better than the old one. :).
