Facial Scars
Understanding Facial Scar Revision

When the skin is in the process of recovering from an injury, whether the result of an accident, surgery, a burn or acne, scarring will occur wherever multiple layers of the skin have been affected. Once a scar forms, it is permanent but may be made less visible or relocated surgically.

With very few exceptions, most people are self conscious about facial scars. Some people may also experience diminished functioning of the eyes, mouth or nose due to scarring. If you’ve wondered how facial scar revision could improve your appearance, your level of facial functioning and possibly your self confidence, you need to know how scar revision works and what you can expect from this procedure.

Successful facial plastic surgery is a result of good rapport between patient and surgeon. Trust, based on realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in the consultation stages before surgery is performed. Dr. Smith can answer specific questions about your specific needs.
