See surgeon: Or same group. From a loose wire to a cheloid or a hard scar with anything in between, the idea being it can be easily dealt with once diagnosed properly. The difference would be that same surgeon group can take care of it, while other providers will be reticent in dealing with it and would refer back to the surgical group.
