Strip/ scar reduction in one session ?

[Torn]

I have multiple scars from prior procedures. Some have widened. Is it best to have a strip and scar reduction done in one session ? Or should they be done separately ?

 

I'm hoping in excising the scar the doc can use the hairs removed ?

Torn,

 

There is always some hair that will come off with the strip excision even if it is solely a scar revision.

 

The key or impending issue is, "do you presently have the adequate amount of laxity to accommodate the size of the strip being excised?"

 

Because the last thing you want is another wide scar or even a wider scar than you presently want corrected. Obviously you do not want it to come out worse.

 

This is why I highly recommend that you would get several opinions before proceeding with this.

 

Hope it works out and that you achieve improvement in your situation.
