Can liver repair, minor scarring caused by fatty liver?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes - minor scarring: The liver does have regenerative capacity in a healthy individual. Limiting calories under the supervision of a nutritionist may help to limit and reverse the damage caused by fatty liver which is commonly associated with being overweight.
