Is Facial Dog Bite Scar Removal Possible For My Case? (photos)

User Avatar

I was attacked by my dog when I was 7 years old. My chin was ripped open and I have scars on the entire right side of my face. The skin didn't heal well and I feel as though the doctors didn't put much effort into concern about how I looked after it healed. I'm now 21 and they've faded a lot since I was younger. They used to be very pink but they're white now. Some are depressed and some aren't. I use makeup everyday to hide and cover them but I just want them gone. Do I have any options?

Our office specializes in keloid therapy. I would use a Hidef Scar Protocol to address your keloids so that they flatten out and smooth out. This may include lasers, injections, and topical therapy. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
