Surgical Scar on Arm - Most Effective Procedure and Cost? I had microsurgery and had my tendons fixed after an basketball injury involving a garage window 5 years ago. There is a scar on my arm from the surgery that still haunts me...What is the most effective method or surgical procedure that would have the best results for reducing/erasing my scar & also what price range. Thanks

A: Some Scars Can't Be Improved

Scars can be an unpleasant reminder of past traumas or dreadful events.

That association can be a strong motivation for scar revision.

Unfortunately, scar revision techniques are limited: the scar in your photograph appears to be about as good as could be achieved. I would probably not advise any further procedures, as you run the risk of making the scar worse, rather than better.

You could try a test spot with a laser treatment to see if that could be beneficial, but I think you are not likely to make the scar any better.
