Asked By:FroyoForever in San Francisco, California

Hi. I am 28F, East Asian, medium light skin, doesnt have any acne scar. I recently tripped and fell and had to get 3 stitches on my face. the wound now has healed but left hideous scarring which is impacting my confidence and mental health. I would love to know what my options are and who should I go see - plastic surgeons? Dermatologists? facial surgeons? med spas? Thank you very much in advance.
