Hello,

If the scars are wide and noticeable, scar revision can remove these "wider" portions and make them less noticeable. As you can see by the variability in the answers here, scar treatment really depends upon exactly how the scars look, their shape and where they are. You need to have them properly evaluated to know your best course of action.
