What is the best method and cost of acne scar removal?

We Answered:

Really depends on how dark the scars is. Laser treatments are great for that situation. I had the v beam treatment for some red spots that I had. It took one treatment and mine was gone. $195.00 and it was gone. Good Luck

Scar removal?

We Answered:

I have never had any kind of surgery so I can't offer any personal experiences, but I found a site that has a lot of information that I'm sure would help you. There are a lot of things that factor into the cost and it may vary depending on what the doctor charge. You should check with you insurance to see if they cover any of the expenses.

how much does a scar removal surgery cost?

We Answered:

First of all, scars can't be "removed" only "revised." That is it can be made thinner, but it will still be 17 cms long. Even the best surgical revision can only get it to about 3-4 mm wide. The more tissue that is removed, the more tension will be on the remaining skin. Skin tension is what makes a scar thicker.
As far as cost, it would be a few thousand and probably not covered by insurance since it is a cosmetic procedure.
On the other hand, I know a few young women who are proud of their belly scars, because they represent having their lives saved.
Depends on how you want to think of it.

Here are some tips:
What is scar revision?
Every person heals differently and the effects of an injury or surgical scar are always unique. Though doctors cannot predict how a scar will heal, today plastic surgeons can improve the appearance of a scar on almost any part of the body.

It is important to know that once a scar is present, it will not go away. The blemish may be improved or made less conspicuous, but some mark will always be present.

Depending on the type of scar, your doctor may treat you using one of these techniques:

Scar excision – If there is sufficient adjacent skin, the scar is excised or removed and the skin is closed.
Z or W-plasty – The original scar is repositioned to be better camouflaged by existing features, lines or creases.
Skin grafting – The scar is surgically removed and skin from another part of the body is used to cover the area if the scar area is large (ie, burns).
Skin flap – Similar to a skin graft, skin and the tissue below the skin are moved from another part of the body to cover the site.
Who is a good candidate?
Almost anyone can look better and feel better about themselves after scar revision surgery.

Risks
Surgery has risks, but you can help prevent complications by carefully following your physician's instructions both before and after surgery. Talk with your plastic surgeon to be sure you understand the potential risks and complications. If you don't understand something, ask!

Preparing for scar revision
Scars go through a healing process that lasts for about a year. Scars will be red for a time, get tight and then relax and have a more subtle color. Schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon after the scar is completely healed.

Recovery
Because different parts of the body heal differently, recovery times and expectations vary depending on your procedure. Surgery to repair a scar on your leg may take as long as two weeks to heal, while a procedure on your face may take only about a week.

Your doctor will talk with you about what to expect after the surgery, as well as how to care for your wound. Carefully following these instructions will help speed recovery and give you the best chance for excellent long-term results
