Can Scars on the Neck Be Revised Using Scar Revision? Can Scars on the Neck Be Revised Using Scar Revision?

A: Treating Scars

Treating scars is difficult. It depends on how much loose skin you have on the neck, as far as re-excising the scar. Better options are to use camoflage make-up (can be permanent if the scar is white-) or lasers if it is darker than your surrounding skin.

Subcision for Bound Down Scars - Best Done by a Dermatologist? hello I have two bound down scars that I feel certain would benefit from subcision. It is adhered to the tissue beneath, and because the scar is in an area of a lot of movement, it is immobilizing. Which specialty generally does this type of procedure? I can't seem to find plastic surgeons who do this; they either do scar revision or recommend a laser, whichever laser the surgeon has.

A: subcision

Justthefacts, A cosmetic dermatologist can do this for you. They can also try injecting saline a few times to try to raise a space under the scar and loosen that tissue. After that you might want to fill with a filler. Go for it!
