I have an indented forehead scar from a childhood accident. Is there any surgery or procedure that would improve it? (Photo)

Question

The scar really upsets me whenever I look at pictures of myself.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

A scar treatment plan can include utilizing both lasers to address the pigmentation and texture, and dermal fillers can be used to fill in any indentation or atrophy the scar may have left behind. Additionally, micro needling which stimulates the body's own collagen to tighten lift and rejuvenate skin can improve the area as well. A surgical approach could be to have a scar revision which would potentially create a less visible scar. A thorough exam of the scar is recommended in order too know what will be the best treatment option for you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This can be improved with a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
