Should I go to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon for chicken pox scar excision on forehead?

Asked By:brit8818 in Denver, CO

I went to consult a dermatologist to ask about excising two of my chicken pox scars on my forehead. One falls into a wrinkle but the other is in a tight area of my forehead. I understand I'll have a scar regardless but as long at its not a gaping, dark hole, I'm happy. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, would I have better results by going to a plastic surgeon?
