Question

How can my friend minimize the visibility of stitch marks from jaw surgery? They're pretty noticeable and she's feeling self-conscious about them. Are there any treatments or creams that actually help fade these scars over time?

To minimize the visibility of stitch marks from jaw surgery, your friend should focus on proper wound care, including avoiding sun exposure and using silicone scar gels or sheets. Medical treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, and steroid injections can also help improve the appearance of scars over time.
