Q&A with Dr Jeremy Hunt

Surgical scar

Question: I have a surgical scar which is growing bigger because of my weight and it's painful sometimes. Can I remove it with plastic surgery?

Answer: It is impossible to remove any scar though it may be improved. Improving scars by scar revision may involve non-surgical treatment such a silicone therapy or injections with corticosteroid surgery may totally remove the scar. Unfortunately, a scar will result from the surgical revision though it is hoped this will be a better result than the original.
