Either revise each depressed spread area or try needling with fat grafting. But start with a small area first..//

Surgical scar revision may be your best option to remove the surgical scar marks on your forehead. A non surgical approach may be to begin treatment with Melarase creams. Melarase is one of the best skin lightener creams for therapeutic use.
