Z plasty : Z plasty or running w plasty or other forms of local tissue trasnfer can be used to hide scars by moving them to areas where they are hidden or less visible.

Depends on the scar: Here is a list of methods: scar excision/revision (geometric broken line, w/z plasty, etc), dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing (full/fractional), chemical peel, dermarolling, subcision, injectable fillers/fat grafting, etc. Depending on the appearance of the scar, one of the methods may provide more improvement than another. Please be evaluated by a specialist for their opinion.
