ABSTRACT
A complex problem confronts the skin surgeon who attempts to correct depressed scars and wrinkles. In light of the various causes, the anatomy of depressed areas, the type of patient, and the response of the patient to past or current trauma and/or surgery, it is unlikely that one treatment modality will successfully improve all depressions. Therefore, the greater the number of treatment options available, the more likely the surgeon will be in obtaining successful correction.
