Surgical treatments for scars.

Scars-whether they're caused by accidents or by surgery - are unpredictable.
The way a scar develops depends as much on how your body heals as it does on
the original injury or on the surgeon's skills. Many variables can affect
the severity of scarring, including the size and depth of the wound, the
blood supply to the area, the thickness and color of your skin, and the
direction of the scar. How much the appearance of a scar bothers you is, of
course, a personal matter.
While no scar can be removed completely, doctors can often improve the
appearance of a scar, making it less obvious through the injection or
application of certain steroid medications or through surgical procedures
known as scar revisions.
Many scars that appear large and unattractive at first may become less
noticeable with time. Some can be treated with steroids to relieve symptoms
such as tenderness and itching. For these reasons, many doctors recommend
waiting as long as a year or more after an injury or surgery before you
decide to have scar revision.
If you're bothered by a scar, your first step should be to consult your
doctor. The doctor will examine you and discuss the possible methods of
treating your scar, the risks and benefits involved and the possible
outcomes. Be frank in discussing your expectations with the surgeon, and
make sure they're realistic. Don't hesitate to ask any questions or express
any concerns you may have.
