Revision of Misaligned Upper Lip Scar? (photos)

April 9, 2015
Asked By:thomas.carter in Napa, CA

Traumatic scar leads to following due to the misalignment of the wound edges 1. Right philtral column is disrupted 2. Left philtral column is distorted (shifted to right) 3. Philtral depth is lost 4. Vermilion border is disrupted What I expect from the revision "IN ORDER OF PRIORITY" 1. Restoration of "ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS" 2. Decreased scar width without tissue distortion 3. Minimal excision of healthy tissue (minimal volume loss) to prevent distortion Is it attainable and how?
