Scar revision in children for a scar on the forehead

Many patients and parents may not want to place their children through a scar revision surgery and may thus opt for non surgical scar revision with a CO2 laser. I would not necessarily place a 3 year old through surgery to revise this scar at this point. Surgery90210

Scar Revision

To get the best result for this scar, it will likely need to be surgically revised. Unfortunately the scar is already quite wide, slightly opened, and raised, all of which attract attention. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can help your daughter.
