A: Facelift Scars

Some Facelift scars can be improved with simple excision and some scars actually require a revision Facelift in order to correct the problem.  The reason for this is that most unsightly scars occur due to inappropriate skin tension at closure.  Simple excision can sometimes represent a repetition of the initial mistake.

What is Best Method for Removing Scar on Forehead?

I have got a hurt from racket while playing,on left eyebrow verically. My doc preffered 6 stiches for that. Now I am worried it may remain as scar permanenet. I want to know which is the best way to get rid of that scar,medically and in non surgical methods.

A: Forehead scar

Most traumatic lacerations, if properly repaired, will heal quite well.  However, the nature of the injury, amount of damaged tissue, and the patient's natural healing process, all affect the scar quality.  You should allow sufficient time for healing and scar maturation to assess the quality of the scar before addressing any concerns regarding revisions.  Scars will generally continue to improve in appearance over a period of months to 2 years.  If it is still within this time period, you may use silicone strips or other silicone based products to aid in the scar appearance, as well as avoiding significant sun exposure to the area of the scar.
