I often perform revisions of the lip in those patients with cleft lip scars. Options are many, including laser and IIT. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Inevitably cleft lip patients will have a scar. Some will have such a finite scar that almost nobody will know. Go see your local paediatric plastic surgeon to see if a revision in the long run could improve your scar GOOD LUCK
It is typically possible to improve scarring following cleft lip repair. The correct choice requires an examination of the scar and determination of what troubles you about the scar. Treatments range from injections to soften the scar tissue, resurfacing to smooth it or surgery to remove the scar and replace it with a surgical scar. Seek a consultation with a cleft surgery specialist who will be best positioned to evaluate your lip repair and the resulting scar. I hope this information is helpful.

Great question. Scars are responsive to many treatments. The first step would be to determine the type of scar tissue and the location, in order to help alleviate the stressors. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
This is a very difficult problem, but I have seen some very positive results with the fractional co2 laser using topographic skin resurfacing (TSF). Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Serial IIT, pulsed dye laser, and fractional resurfacing can improve the scar on your buttock from a previous burn. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
