How do I prevent widening of forehead scar from scar revision would the use of a permanent suture non absorbable stutre help to prevent the scar from widening. I already went for a scar revision 2 years ago unfortunately scar widened after 1 month and half everything up to then was looking. So my question is the use of a permanent non absorbable stutre a viable option.

Answer: Forehead scar widening Permanent suture has its own implications. The ideal is to use a fine suture material in the hope of creating a narrow linear scar. Please post photos. All scars will spread or hypertrophy to a certain degree at 6 weeks postop but then go on to heal. A secondary revision will, by its nature, result in a longer and possibly wider scar.

Answer: Scar treatments In the healing process scars can widen. Forehead scar revision with deep dermal delayed absorbable sutures, like 2-0 or 3-0 monocryl, a 4-0 sub q monocryl, and then breathable covering like hypafix will help healing of the scar most optimally in my hands.
