Viggo a #1 / 2	Scar revision Hey! I wonder if it's possible to reduce or remove scars after a major surgery. My doctors have been force by the nature to operat me tree times after a crash my bike. I torn up my upper part of the leg: the wound was not quite a circle, but nerly. About 2 times 2 inces. And my lower part of the leg was broken and "a part of the leg went out of the skin". The situation is that I hate scars on my body. So I wonder what is my chances to get a "better looking leg". Please can some plastic surgery email me a answer. Thanks in advance from Sweden.

Joll #2 / 2	Scar revision Yes, a plastic surgeon can treat your scars in several ways -- another operation, sanding it down, or injecting it with steroids. However, none of these treatments are gauranteed to work or to prevent recurrence. If you're very serious about it, see a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist. However, realize that most insurance companies won't cover it, it may take many treeatments, and there's a good chance that your scars will come back.
