Hi Dr.Lam.
Thank you for such an amazing forum, and your conscientious approach.
I have a question regarding, a mole i had removed through excision,in which stitches were removed after 7-1o days was only 2-3mm slightly raised.
I had it removed 4-5 years ago and was considering weather it can be an option for scar revision.
Funnily enough after the surgery for 3 years the scar was hardly visible, when a bit of make up was applied, over time, in the last two years...I noticed it seems to have become very prominent, unsightly and white...and what appears to me....it looks stretched.its the only reason I can think off it suddenly becoming more prominent..since it was a lot smaller after the surgery.
Now I don't know if this is due to the plastic surgeons technique or the way my skin has healed.ageing e.t.c..or if this due to the location as it is on the jaw line.
Either way I would really appreciate if you could offer me advise of what sort of scar this is? and if scar revision such as z plasty if any you a good idea? Look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks
