Best scar revision for piercing scars

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD answers: Options to remove an eyebrow piercing scar?

I've done scar revision for my eyebrow piercing scar using the cut and stitch procedure. However, the scar worsened and became deeper and longer than before. It looks like a long deep big hole. It didn't get minimized at all. Is there any other procedure that might help? Please advise. Thank you.

Piercing scars have two components that make them difficult to treat. First, the tract may be epithelialized and second, there may be dehiscence of the underlying tissue. The goal of treatment would be to remove the epithelialized tract and perform an layered closure. I perform these regularly in my office.
