Hello,
The "removal of a scar" is a loaded concept. When you remove a scar you replace it with another scar. The idea is determining to what extent the removal technique will allow the result to be better than the current scar. The answer depends upon the scar and the conditions under which wounding occurred as well as the patient's capacity to heal.
See a plastic surgeon who brings expertise in scar revision and improvement and go from there. Some scars can be revised in the office under local anesthesia with good results.
