A member asked:
Will a punch biopsy improve the scar left on a cheek by an elect.bist.(4mm) or make it worse? 1 stitch required but i'm afraid of invasive treatment.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why worry: In the hands of experienced expert professional the scar will be minimal ( some times may not even see with naked eye ) See a plastic surgeon , or cosmetic dermatologist
