Scars may or may not be removed permanently, but in the hands of expert plastic surgeons they can be improved in appearance, made 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 plastic surgeons recommend waiting as long as a year or more after an injury or surgery before you decide to have a surgical option.

How much a scar bothers someone depends on person to person. Different types of marks entail different solutions; Surgical or non-surgical. We shall list all types of scars and their possible treatments in the ‘Procedure’ section.
