The scarring is particularly bad on the forehead. The grafts were taken for the nose tip which seems to be healing correctly. Is there anything at all I can do about the vertical scars on my forehead with deep dents? Thank you.

Answer: Improving facial scar with lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision, fillers These scars can be improved with laser spot treatment, fillers, microneedling/prp and subcision to help texture and blending. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Scar from forehead flaps Thank you for your photos. The scars form forehead flaps naturally improve over time. It may take 6 months to a year to see the final results. If you would like faster results or if the scars are already plateaued in their improvement, other options include microneedling with or without PRP, fractionated laser, and radiofrequency make microscopic holes in the scar to stimulate your body to remodel and fill in the scar with new collagen. I especially like a combination of a chemical peel for the hyperpigmentation and acne control, microneedling with PRP for texture and collagen building, and PIXEL fractionated laser or RF to resurface and build even more collagen. For large or more severe irregularities, a scar revision or re-excision may swap out your old scar for a less noticeable one in a single procedure. Not everyone is a candidate for all the treatment options however as certain skin types can get worse from certain treatments. For the safest treatment plan, it is important to visit an expert for an in-person examination. Hope this helps!
