Is there such a thing as an acne surgery?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Acne surgery or acne scar treatments encompass a wide variety of procedures. This can include laser resurfacing/ dermabrasion to smooth the scar tissue. Scar removal and revision to remove deep scars, subcision and filler treatment to lift tethered scar tissue. A dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon can review all of the options with you and determine which is best.

Yes: It is a bit of a misnomer, but there is a billing code for "acne surgery" that is used for removal of milia, which are little tiny cysts that are common in people with acne.
