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.
Dermatologists and Dermatologic surgeons tend to perform subcisions. Plastic surgeons tend more to surgical scar revision in my experience, which is sometimes an excellent, but more invasive option. Both specialties also utilize lasers to improve the surface of the scar. Check on the American Academy of Dermatology website for dermatologists near you at aad.org.
Hope that helps.

With all the options available (dermabrasion, dermasanding, peels, laser treatment, percutaneous collagen induction therapy), a moderate improvement is all that is possible.
In order to set expectations in a realistic order, we usually refer to a "less then 50%" improvement. Although this is by no means a scientifically measured number, it puts your expectations in the realistic "moderate at best" range.
