I've had this old scar on my cheek from an abscess for 67 years now and I'm really bothered by it. Would plastic surgery be a good option to remove or reduce it? What kind of results can I expect and are there any risks I should know about?

There are a lot of treatment options for scars available as of today. The treatment depends on the duration of scar and facilities available. The advance treatment option includes Fractional CO2 lasers in multiple sessions. Topical medications may be of little use and will supplement laser treatment.Other treatment option include dermaroller. Plastic surgery of scar is seldom done now-a days. Next Steps Fractional CO2 lasers work best for scars. Health Tips Avoid Self Medications.
