I have deep burn scars on the back of my right knee and I'm wondering if plastic surgery could help remove them. How effective is it for this kind of scarring and what should I expect from the procedure?

Plastic surgery can be effective in improving the appearance and functionality of deep burn scars, although it won't fully remove them. It can reduce the size, depth, and prominence of scars, and help restore functionality if the scar is constricting movement. The specific procedures used will depend on the location, size, and depth of the scars, as well as the patient's individual goals

View allI have loose skin under my arms and I'm not sure which specialist to see for this. Is surgery the only option to get rid of it or are there other treatments available?
Loose skin can be addressed by plastic surgeons. If mild, radiofrequency or ultrasound-based skin tightening helps. For moderate to severe cases, brachioplasty (skin removal surgery) is the solution.

I've struggled with deep acne scars on my cheeks for years and nothing has worked not even fractional CO2 laser treatments. Would plastic surgery be an option to restore my cheeks? I'm really desperate at this point and just want to know if there's any hope for improvement.
Yes, plastic surgery can be an option for improving the appearance of deep acne scars, especially after other treatments like fractional CO2 laser treatments have not yielded satisfactory results. While scars cannot be completely removed, plastic surgery techniques can significantly improve their appearance by resurfacing or grafting tissue.
