Scar revision on forehead: excision or laser? (photos)

March 13, 2023
Asked By:emlaben in Boon, Michigan

How would you treat this scar? Traumatic scar to the forehead just above eyebrow, about 3cm wide and .75cm tall due to railroad marks left behind due to reaction to dissolvable sutures that were placed superficially. Been treating with silicone sheeting, SPF, and massage daily. Started implementing tretinoin about six weeks ago. One dr said laser, one said dermabrasion. I would like to have it excised and reclosed but concerned it would raise the eyebrow to unnatural position. Serial excision?
