Scars – What to do
One of the most common questions we get asked in plastic surgery, on a daily basis, is about scars or scarring. Whether it be an old scar from a previous injury or surgery or a concern about a new scar from a planned surgical procedure, patients have great concerns about an external visible scar. What is often not clear to most is that scars are not all the same and, as a result, the treatments for different types of scars is……different! There is no one method of treatment, for example the laser, that is the miracle solution.. In an effort to deal with the many questions and concerns about scars, I have created a website dedicated to the topic. (http://www.scarscription.com/) It is a simple website that first establishes what type of scar you may have by description and appearance. From there, the many treatment options available for each type of scar is discussed, benefits and risks of each type of treatment, and their associated costs.
When we get an inquiry about scars, particularly by phone or e-mail, I always ask that the prospective patient first visit the ScarScription website. It provides an enormous amount of accurate information that is otherwise lacking on most internet sites.
