Pediatric Dermatologist Vs Pediatric Plastic Surgeon and Scar Treatment

You should allow at least 12 months of healing to see what kind of scar you will be left with (waiting longer would be even better).  While waiting some form of scar cream for one or two months would help.  I would not do any laser treatment as I don't think it helps.  The worse situation is if you don't like the scar at any age, then you can get a scar revision and this should only be done by a plastic surgeon and a good one in Houston is Dr.  John Teichgraber.

The scar should be allowed to mature or heal completely before any revision is done. That means at least 12 months. Scars will widen as the child grows and any revision now will lead a wide scar later in life. I would wait a year or so and reevaluate then. If it is acceptable, then will wait until teen years to do the revision.
