When the skin recovers from an injury, whether due to an accident, surgery, a burn, or acne, scarring can occur where multiple layers of the skin have been affected. While scars are indelible, they can be made less visible or relocated surgically. Facial scar revision can improve appearance, self-confidence, and, in some cases, facial functioning, especially if the scar impacts the eyes, mouth, or nose. Successful cosmetic surgery is built on realistic expectations, precise medical expertise, and good rapport between the patient and the surgeon.
