I have this procedure done today. Dr. Bunonassisi was very nice . The meeting was very informative. He answered all my questions and I have made this decision to get rid of this 25 year old-scar.

I have this scar because of an accident while driving a bicycle during my childhood. Dr. Bunonassisi has recommended : excision, Re-orientation of the scar direction and geometric closure.

I am writing my opinion here and I still don't know the final result so I will give you my honest opinion.

The procedure itself was not painful at all. He numbed the area pretty well, explained what he was going to do and I felt that's he was doing his best.

Immediately after I reached home, I had to look at the area and to be honest I thought the scar he created was terrible!

There were multiple stitches, a horizontal line that looks absolutely hideous to me. I know it's too early to tell and to be honest he did explain that this may happen but eventually things will get better.

Let's hope he is right!

I will keep updating you at regular intervals, I will post another update on day five, 14 and 30. I will also Post another update after six months.

I haven't submitted my rating in full yet for obvious reasons.

How long was your scar originally and how much longer is it now?

1.2 cm , my doctor told me it will be longer now (i thought they make it smaller!) but less obvious as hanged its orientation.

Thanks for post, keep us updated, it's way to early to tell anything yet for you.
Keep the area moist with Vaseline to stop a scab and help the new scar look good :-)

Thanks for sharing. I am 39 years old female with a facial scar caused by an accident. The scar is 6 years old - I hate it so much ! I have considered scar revision but everyone tells me that I would end up worse off. Going through the healing process again puts me off.

I had it too and if it's big enough, go for it. It almost always ends up better - just the way body heals. Just my opinion after lots of research for my scar.

I agree. The healing process is annoying and stressful.

Its all about your doctor in my opinion , do your research ! good luck

That's such a small original scar I'm surprised they even agreed to scar surgery for it. I had a much bigger scar which after scar revision is now the size of your original scar. But now no doctor thinks it's worth surgery - they say at this size laser or filler is better.
That said, I do see it looking better after for you - it's a good job IMO.

Hi sorry for the late reply , yes the original one was small but I just hated it.. I am not sure about how this is going to end up , My doctor told me revised scars have to be longer than original scars!

I don't see much of a difference, I'm keeping the area moist with Polysporin.

I can't really tell what is going to happen so far.

I'm keeping you posted because I understand how important it is for other people considering this treatment to see the progress.

Fingers crossed
