ABSTRACT

The need for revision of facial scars, whether such scars are preceded by disease or trauma or are acquired or self-inflicted, has posed aesthetic problems for years. Patients ex­ hibiting facial scars seek surgical solutions to this problem from dermatologists and cosmetic plastic surgeons. Interestingly, no matter what the origin of the scars may be, patients are of the opinion that plastic or cosmetic surgery can remove these scars without leaving a trace.
