Stitches in forehead. How can I avoid or minimize scarring? (Photo)

November 19, 2019
Asked By:dtwend23 in Bridgewater, NJ

I received about 25 stitches on my forehead/eyelid a few days ago and will have them out before the weekend. I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon early next week. How soon after an injury would a surgeon usually provide treatments? What should I expect and what are my best options for avoiding or minimizing scarring as much as possible?
