Not All Scars Are The Same

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Many people come to see me for aesthetic surgery but are very anxious that their result would leave them with bad scarring, like other scars they have from previous surgeries or accidents. Take heart, scar’s appearance depends on location and direction of the scar in regard to lines of tension. In other words a large wide scar on the breast plate that cuts across the chest does not at all indicate the kind of scar one would have from facial surgery. The quality of the scar depends on blood supply, tension and location which varies on the same body. Board certified plastic surgeons are trained to place incisions in the most favorable angle,position in regard to location, with expert closure, to give the best possible result.
