Scar Revision, Urgent Need Reply

I fainted when I was 16, I am now 21. I fell on my face onto the pavement and there was some broken glass. It resulted in a white scar above my upper lip that looks like a square, just without the botton line, then i had a scab on my nose that was quite wide. Like an idiot I pick and pick at it and it left me with a red sunken scar that covers a bit of my nose.

I know I can never get these to dissapear like magic, but I just want maybe two very small scars that is just a plain straight line. Also the redness around the scars is very annoying and when I shave it makes them worse. Why is that.

Ive noticed that in sunlight they are worse, I am going to Spain in July. I would like to get something done before I go.

I really have had enough with these two marks in the centre of my face. I find it hard to make eye contact even though Im such an outgoing person. Please give me a reply.

HI,

I'm sorry for your frustration.

Have you seen a Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist and asked if there are any procedures they could do?

As.... for the redness maybe a fade cream could help in that area.

I have requested a callback from a medical practice. So they should phone tomorrow.

How much do you think it would cost and is it a fact that the scars will look worse after the surgery and possible could make it worse forever.

There are lots of new techniques that make scars look better today, you will be best off finding a cosmetic surgeon that does this type of work.
Good luck
