I have quite a few chickenpox scar on my face that affects my selfesteem. I've included pictures to seek for some expert advice. I'm asian, very prone to post scar reddening, and somewhat easy to form thick scar tissue. I've met about 4 surgeons to consult about the scar, but still hope to seek for more opinions. I prefer fillers since they don't leave scar behind like the actual scar removal surgery. I heard about Artefill, which is permanent, what is your opinion on it? Thanks in advance.

Answer: Chicken pox scars on the forehead and nose
I would discuss your request with the American Burn Association. Every state has a regional burn center for the most part. Donation of skin is a very noble act.
I would treat this scar with subcision, fillers, PRP SC, fractional laser, and surgical scar release as part of the Hidef scar protocol in our office. Best, Dr .Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon
