Common Questions & Answers about Scar Revision / Scar Repair
"I'm also wondering how the scars would be repairable. Would this mean skin graphting?? My scars are quite wide and have a brownish color to them. I'm also scared to be cut again because I don't want to end up with an infection again, would that happen? Is there any guarantee that the scars would be unnoticable? Or am I taking a chance again? Thank-you for your help, it's greatly appreciated.. Jody Bryan "
