Scar revision surgery

Scar revision is the only way to "get rid" of scars. This simply means that the old scar is removed and replaced by a new scar. Hopefully the new scar will be more acceptable to you.

Male mastectomy scars

It would be helpful to have more information or to see photos in order to answer your question.  Some scars can be improved while others cannot.  It is not possible to remove a scar without leaving another.  The goal would be to leave a better scar.  Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.  I'm sure they will try to help you if possible.
