I need to figure out another option so I don't have so many scars. I understand that excision is the best option and I am very pleased with 2 out of the 4 surgeries. I just don't want to have a bunch more scars. I am a 28 yr old male and am very active. I know liposuction is an option but I do not want to have skin dimpling or any other damage. The scars fade over time but it's getting to the point where it is too much. Any advice would help out. Thank you.
