Answer: Scar Wars... The management of the ugly scar. The scar that you have is depressed (concave) and you should consider a scar revision. The depressed segment is excised and the skin edges are brought together. This will make a more narrow incision line that is not depressed. Seek a facial plastic surgeon for care. Best of luck!
