History: Patient is Having Long Term Wide Scar Over Her Forehead Looking for Effective
Treatment of the Scar

Surgery : Scar Refining Surgery Under Magnification

Results/ Outcome: the Settled Disappeared Scar Over the Period of Six
Months.

This patient underwent #Scar revision surgery, and here are the initial 3-month outcomes. As seen in the after photo, the scar has settled with time and faded away. #lasers treatment is not always the best option for all scars. Scar revision surgery was performed with a meticulous approach, resulting in very fine line scars. Sunlight should be avoided during the immediate post-operative time since it causes hyperpigmentation. The recovery and fading of the scar are quite satisfactory with proper post-operative care.
