Is it possible to get surgery for acne scars?

Of course: But choose the right procedure for your scars. Meet with a specialist to review your options.

Yes: Type of scarring will dictate your best treatment options. Sometimes fillers, fat grafting, surgical excision or sanding of the sites are chosen. Occasionally use of laser resurfacing and chemical peels (medium to deep) are recommended.

Certainly: The narrow deep "ice pick" type scars can be easily cut out with a tiny circular surgical punch that remives the whole pitted scar which is the closed with a few fine sutures. Longer scars may be excised with careful closure along anatomic lines that parallel normal skin creases. Dermabrasion is helpful for shallow scarring.

Yes: Surgical excision of acne scars may be performed, but that would leave scars as well. The best treatments are probably nonsurgical, such as dermabrasion, lasers, chemical peels and dermarolling.
