People acquire scars on their bodies for any number of reasons. Falling down while playing a sport, falling while learning to ride a bike, surgery needed to repair a broken bone – all are relatively common. However, scars that are on the face are often not as common, nor are they as easy to ignore. Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. The most common facial scars are caused by acne; however there are some facial scars that are a result of violence or tragedy – all of which can be devastating to a person’s self-esteem. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery LLC, we offer dedicated care and individualized treatment for those who wish to have scar revision. Many times our patients will tell us the back story of how a facial scar was received, but sometimes they are too painful to discuss. We offer the most precise surgical scar revision to erase the scars that cause repeated reminders.
Poor healing of the skin and/or picking at acne are the most common causes that contribute to acne scars on the face. However, even a wound that does heal well can still result in a scar that affects a person’s appearance. Scars can be recessed, raised, differ in texture or color from surrounding skin tissue, and can be any shape or size. Because of these individual characteristics of every scar, a knowledgeable and experienced surgeon should be trusted for scar revision.
Dr. Benjamin Stong at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery will thoroughly examine your scar to determine the most appropriate treatment for you. He is committed to helping all of his clients achieve excellent results regardless of the causes or circumstances behind the scar.
