Eyebrow Scar (after piercing). What kind of technique would you advise? (Photo)

Question

I did a piercing on my right eyebrow 10 years ago and would like to remove it. What kind of technique would you advice me to do ? I really don't know if a surgery, a subscision of filler, or a laser treatment can remove it all. See the attached picture. Please help me. Many thanks for your answers.

Based on the appearance of the scar I believe that surgical scar revision would give your the best result. You should discuss your options with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

Removing the scar would leave a large defect which would shorten the eyebrow.  Filling the depression with a hyaluronic acid filler would be a more conservative approach.  If this does not work then the scar revision would still be an option.

Thanks for posting your question. Depending on your goal of full excision of the scar versus filling the depression, there are different approaches you could take. A scar revision would be invasive and would create a different scar through the brow hair line, even if expertly camouflaged. Filler could help elevate the area and create a more fulll appearnce, but would need to be repeated.  Good luck!

Michael Leff, MD (retired) · Answer

Removing the scar surgically, with careful plastic surgical closure would give you a definite improved appearance.  If anything further is needed after healing of this procedure, filler and or laser could be considered.  Care with the laser is most important to prevent or limit eyebrow hair loss.
