Can scars be removed?

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.

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

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. :).
