Scars, on the face and the body, are due to different reasons, like accidents, injuries, burns, prior cosmetic surgeries or even severe acne (See Doctor’s Remarks for acne scars in particular). A surgery that treats scars can significantly reduce their appearance in order for them not to be a cosmetic or functional problem for patients and therefore improve their appearance and their confidence. A surgery may not completely remove scars it can smooth them and make them much less noticeable.
