Dr. Srinagesh VadrevuCosmetic/Plastic Surgeon • 39 Years Exp.MBBS, MS - General Surgery, MCh - Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Big, bad, unsightly scars are always a nightmare and disturbing to the owner. Every individual loves an unblemished skin.
Reasons: Mainly after repeated acne on the face, back, and buttocks or after injury with or without tissue loss. Other reasons could be after repeated infections, removal of unwanted growths or tumours - benign or malignant.
Once you have a scar one must remember that the scar cannot be made to disappear. The scar can be reduced with or without change of direction to mellow it down. In some cases, it may be possible to shift them to a place where they can be hidden or camouflaged.
This can be complimented with dermabrasion or laser to further soften the scar and make it less conspicuous.
