A member asked:

Would scar revision work on a surgical scar that is 2 years old and how long does it take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, scar can be rev: Yes, Scar can be revised anytime. But be careful if you have a keloid, these are not to be revised as they will recur as a bigger scar. Seek advice from a plastic surgeon if you want a smaller scar next time.
