A member asked:

Does laser surgery leave a scar?

Dr. Robert Douglas answered

Specializes in Orthodontics

Depends : On the type of laser, the procedure and the site of the surgery. Skin for example, cut by laser or other means will often scar whereas the soft tissue of the mouth will generally heal scar free. Most surgery is designed to minimize any scarring.
