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.
