Internal scar from failed jaw implant surgery - is it possible and safe to remove? (photo)

geomall20Mar 3, 2022
On the photo, you can see something like a cyst.. It actually is a internal scar from a failed jaw mandible implant surgery I had in the past The implant was moved from it's place and stacked in that position Stayed for a month there before I removed it and some fibrous capsule around it, was naturaly created there. Is it possible and safe to remove? I prefer finding a doctor in Turkey. cause I can't afford more than 200 euros for that.

In my opinion, your scar is hypopigmented and atrophic. Subcision with PRP would help the saucer shaped scar.. The color would be improved with the eximer laser. Find a scar expert. Jeff Rapaport MD FAAD Realself Hall of Fame
