Seeking a surgeon who can revise bound-down scars on the face. The fascia was removed, but I think there are small balls left & they tether my skin to the muscle. It puckers, ugly creases, lack of mobility & heartbreak. I would love to have them revised & all fascia out. I have good skin otherwise, don't smoke, use Retin-A, sunblock & heal well.
