Is it possible to remove scars?

I have a surgical scar down my chest from when I had open heart surgery. Is it possible to remove this scar (either through medications or surgery)? What are the procedures to remove scars if there are any? Thanks!|||Ok: If it is a red scar, a scar treatment lotion should work.


If it%26#039;s darker than your skin tone (not red), try cocoa butter, cucumber**, lemon*, or toothpaste***, as scar creme will not


remove this.


*= leave on for a few minutes


**= leave on for 7 minutes


***=leave on for 20 minutes





Well, this is a medical scar, so if there is any chance that these would affect you, ask first


this works a bit for me, as always everyones different|||I believe that be.|||bio -oil will help reduce and fade scars|||Personally, ive read alot on acne scars as i have quite a few left over too. What ive heard to do is apply acv(apple cider vinegar, u can buy it at ur grocery store for under 2 bucks) and mix it half and half with warm water. Then dab the diluted acv with a cotton ball and apply it on your scar. Also i have heard that drinking it is great too but it might taste a bit sour :P . Also another great thing to do is go make an appointment with your dermatologist and get her/him to prescribe u a tropical gel called %26quot;retin a micro%26quot;. As ive heard and read, u need to apply just a lil%26#039; dab on the scar for about twice a day, preferably morning and night. However the downfall to using retin-a micro is that it will peel your skin - but thats how it works. Using retin-a micro will make ur scars get better before it gets worst. tho retin a micro wont work over night, i am more then certain u will achieve decent results from using it atleast about 2-3 weeks. It takes a bit of time, but im positive that if you use this tropical and dab some acv dilutd with water, those maarks will fade in time. gd luck :)|||Be proud of joining the zipper club, we are still alive what could be better.|||NO. My sis got hit by a car last year, now she has a big scar on her knee from surgery. The scar is too deep to do anything about, like most surgical scars. It goes all the way to the bone.|||Scars cannot be removed unless you go to a plastic surgeon who can do a scar revision. Otherwise, you can help the scar fade by using Mederma or Bio-oil on the scar. Laser clinics can also help decrease the appearance but it will never go away. Also, scars naturally lighten up as time goes on - they do not stay red forever.|||YES! Use cocoa butter lotion. You can find it at the drug store.
