epicanthoplasty scar revision

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions addressing linear scars, depressed scars, keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, and other facial reconstructive topics. (Of note, Dr. Lam no longer accepts medical insurance so he rarely manages cancer reconstruction or trauma anymore.)

epicanthoplasty scar revision

Postby formula50 » Sat Jun 27, 2009 4:00 pm

is it possible to remove a scar from previous epicanthoplasty?
Do scars heal within time?
Thanks Dr. Lam.

1. scars are hard to remove.
2. they can soften with time.
3. 5-FU may soften them a bit.
