Abstract:
An ideal scar is flat, thin, and color matched to the surrounding skin. Incision planning, skin closure, and postoperative care are vital to create an inconspicuous scar. Depressed, hypertrophic, and keloid scars each pose unique challenges to the facial plastic surgeon. Several surgical and nonsurgical options exist in the treatment of scars. Appropriate treatment is based on scar location, quality, and size as well as patient history, preferences, and expectations. This article discusses techniques for prevention and treatment options for unsightly and hypertrophic scars.
