Fixing facial scars that are deep and wide

These widened and depressed scars will require surgical excision and layered surgical closure to recontour the skin.

Scar revision

These are tough scars to get a great result on but they can be improved. They are running againt the natural lines of the face. I would do a primary revision to see how well the scar heals with proper tension less closure. You can then smooth it out with dermabrasion or laser and steroid injections. If there is no significant improvement with just the scar revision then I would do a W or Z plasty on selective areas.
