Getting rid of self harm scars. Age 19. Insurance cover? (Photo)

I am so sorry you had to endure such a difficult time in your life and that you are paying yet another price for that time with the scars.Treatment for scars of this size outside of surgery is very difficult and would end up being very expensive.Insurance coverage is unlikely. This would be something you would have to discuss with your insurance provider and your doctor. As much as you want to avoid plastic surgery, that is probably the quickest and most effective way to get the scars down to fine lines. The surgery itself would likely not be nearly as painful as you may think. After that, laser could help soften those fine lines.To minimize the scars visually, don't tan. The darker the skin around a scar, the more it shows. If you decide to have surgical reduction of the scars, do see a board certified plastic surgeon. 

I can't speak to your insurance coverage, but these can be improved with a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp and 5/FU steroids. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
