Asked By:VSG1 in Nyack, NY

April 2021 - dog bite (picture 1). Plastic surgeon sutured would at ER Nov 2021 - scar revision with graft. Will different type of lasers, micro needling, or any other type of treatment improve this scar? Plastic surgeon said nothing else can be done. He does not perform cosmetic non surgical treatment and said a steroid injection would be painful and do very little. Can laser or other type of non invasive therapy improve this scar? Should I consult with a cosmetic dermatologist which has multiple modalities or a plastic surgeon. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!
