A member asked:

What is the surgery for replacing skin on the chin? not augmentation but replacing badly scarred skin on the chin due to previous infection

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discuss options: I believe that you should find a surgeon who is board certified in plastic surgery to discuss your concerns. There are options for scar revision, skin grafting, laser resurfacing or other procedures that may be able to help repair the scarred skin.
