Scar Revision Dallas
Scars are the unavoidable results of injury or surgery and they can be obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Sometimes, a scar can make us feel very self-conscious if it is raised or s a different color or texture than our natural skin.
The goal of scar revision surgery is to minimize the scar so that it more closely matches the surrounding skin.

- You are bothered by a scar anywhere on your body
