scar revision cost

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

boy, that is a tough one since it depends on the length, location, and type of scar revision: running z-plasty or geometric broken line repair. Generally speaking, if I do the "fanciest" closure for a scar that involves geometric broken line repair followed by dermabrasion, the cost can be anywhere between about $2500 to twice that depending one what I see.
best,
