scar revision is an option best done at the adult age that is around 15 years as scar would have fully matured.Better have a appointment for correct advice.
Scar of lip repair gets prominent with advancing age of child ,due to continuous growth process up to certain age and also some other intinsic and extrinsic factor for scars ,what it depends how much the scar is causing aesthetic or functional problem ,and which component of scar is getting prominent, it all needs detailed evaluation and so treatment can be planned from conservative to Surgical scar revision etc,You can book an appointment for that.
Final or appropriate opinion can be given only after examining the patient. He may be needed scar revision or re do surgery. But all options can only be discussed after examining the patient.
Hello, Surgical Scars from childhood go through a spectrum of transition, the wise thing to do here is to only intervene if the child is having inferiority complex or it hinders his daily activities. Surgical and non surgical scar removal methods are available
W.salam. Dear sir, dont waste money on anti scar creams, they dont work on old scars. If the scar is fresh, like a few months old only then these creams work. If the scar is too troublesome then it needs a revision surgery where the scar will be replaced with thin fine line. Hope this answers your query
Good luck
