General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand the necessity of scar removal in a lady.
Since you have tried laser, and Cosmetic Surgeon without much benefit, I would advise you the following and have proper understanding:
- First of all, please understand that scar is the reaction of your body to an injury which is different for every patient.
- Please consult a General Surgeon with experience in plastic surgery or a Plastic Surgeon if you have one in your area.
- Discuss the stage in which your scar is like hypertrophied or keloid.
- Watch for the old scars on the body which will indicate your body's reaction to the wounds.
- Get Vitamin levels done and thus get vitamin deficiency corrected as these are necessary for proper healing response.
- Local application of honey and Vaseline helps to soothe every scar very well and prepare at home.
- Local injection of steroids helps a lot in some cases.
- Surgery to be considered only if the medical management fails.
- Properly done surgery may help to have better results.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
