At 18 I Had Dermabrasion Done on the Right Side of my Face Due to Scars from a Bad Car Accident? (photo)

I am not a doctor, but I do know several people who had severe scars from accidents as teenagers, which healed beautifully and seemed to disappear. Then, as they aged they seemed to become visible again. Even my son, who was hit by his brother in the lip when he was only 18 months old, had a scar that was treated by a plastic surgeon and disappeared. Now that he is thirty, you can see it again, and he asked me about it, as it appeared out of nowhere...so he thought! (Now he's mad at his brother!). As the skin weakens and shifts, old scars return. I never had acne, but breakouts on my chin as a teen. Now little scars are surfacing, as "age's little reminder". I would look into a series of laser or chemical peels. I am hearing more and more that getting milder treatment, say, six weeks to two months apart, is the more conservative and safest way to treat older skin. I'm sure you will look great!!
