I got a bad scar on my forehead from an accident....

I got a bad scar on my forehead from an accident. It was atrophic, wide, and in a very visual spot above my eyebrow. It devastated me. I had a scar revision hoping to make it smooth and flat so I could at least cover it with makeup. Well after healing for a few months the new scar isn't acceptable. It's still indented and ugly and can't be covered with makeup. Maybe 25% improvement at best. I've been told not much else can be done.
I'm extremely depressed and feel suicidal. I used to be such a pretty confident woman. Now my self-confidence is destroyed, I'm angry and bitter, and I never want to leave the house.
For those of you who have facial scarring and are considering this operation, do not do it. You are just replacing one scar with another. More scar tissue just forms. Fillers and lasers don't work either. Don't believe the numerous false reviews and answers on this website created by doctors trying to market themselves. Skin is like freshly fallen snow. Once it's messed up, it will never be the same.
The bottom line is there is no cure for scarring. It's a disfigurement and we just need to learn to live with it. For me, this means hiding my face in shame with a hat or bangs and not being able to live life to the fullest. I will forever suffer until the day I die.
So save your money and accept the cold, hard truth: scarring is permanent and your face will never be the same.

Wow this is incredibly depressing.

There is nothing cheerful about facial scarring, it is as insidious as cancer.

Yes it is as insidious as cancer. But at least with cancer, you have a chance at remission. Scarring is permanent and there is no cure. You are literally fucked.

okay, maybe that's a little far...

cancer will kill you, a facial scar just means you'll have to overcome it with personality

Honestly, I would take my chances with cancer if this scar disappeared completely from my forehead. Had it since I was 2 years old and still cry when I see it under fluorescent lighting. Sure, it may not be the worst scar ever, but it's still noticeable and looks like an indented wrinkle/line on my forehead and adds harshness to my face. I would rather die than live with this for the rest of my life, as someone who is a perfectionist and obsessed with my appearance this is torture. I work out, eat healthy, have long hair, wear makeup, but ALL I see is this scar. I literally hyperventilate sometimes when I see it in bad lighting and I am sick of having to cover it with medical tape and makeup mixed with silicone. I am so unhappy. I want to be able to just go outside without spending 20 minutes concealing it. I want to be able to swim without worrying if my medical tape is going to fall off my forehead. I can't take this anymore. To me, a cancer diagnosis would be better than a scarred face. But that's just me I guess. I don't think I will overcome this. It has only gotten worse. It didn't bother me at all when I was a kid, not much as a teen, and now it is all I think about 24/7. I don't know what triggered this, but I am more conscious of it than ever before. I don't think I'm going to make it to 30 at this rate. Getting old seems like the most depressing thing in the world. And I can't handle getting older and uglier with this scar. I already feel soo old and I'm not even 23 yet

Have you tried needling? Some docs combine needling with saline injections or the suction method. I saw a photo of a large depressed scar on somebody's forehead and the patient went to Dr. Sires for saline injections and her improvement was so incredible you'd never know she once had such bad scarring.

Sounds like another marketing ploy.
