I had a fibrous popule removed from my nose 8 months ago. It has healed over but there is now a circular scar on the side of my nose that is red\dark. I had my dermatologist laser zap the spot 3 weeks ago to help reduce the redness but it only has helped a minimal amount. I have been reading about various types of plastic surgeons who deal with facial scars from surgical procedures, but have no idea what type to look into or if this is possibility for me? Thank you in advance.
Scar treatment included several options. Unfortunately, most scars cannot be eliminated by plastic surgeons but rather improved. Multiple factors determine final outcome. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

I Had the Lifestyle Lift and Was Left with a One Inch Long Keloid Scar in front of my earlobe,which is also out of place.How much would it cost to fix it?
Scar treatment after face lift surgery varies greatly. Generally, plastic surgery to treat scars range from $1000 to $3000. Other potential scar treatments include steroid injection and massage. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Hi. I'm a 15 year old. I got my keloid on my ear as a result of a bad piercing. I went to my doctor and she said she won't treat it with a steroid injection. I then went to a plastic surgeon and they said they'll remove it but my insurance denied it because I should get another treatment before that. What do you recommend I get done?
Hi Drea15,
Keloid scars a challenging to remove, as they may recur despite treatment at some point in the future. These types of scars are more common around the ears or chest, especially in darker skinned individuals. The mainstay of keloid scar therapy is both steroid injections and plastic surgery. Commonly, plastic surgeons will inject a keloid scar before, during, and after the plastic surgery. Other treatments for aggressive or extensive scarring include low-dose radiation, silicone, pressure, or skin grafts among other things. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate treatment options for you. Best of luck.
