How does scar removal work?

Question:

I have a jagged scar running across my face that I would like repaired. My business is a bit more respectable now and I would like to look the part. How is scar revision accomplished? Is this a long, drawn out process?

Answer:

There are many techniques for scar revision, but typically, it involves surgically removing the scar and closing the resulting defect in a way to minimize and hide the scarring.  It is not typically a long drawn out procedure, but full healing does take time.  Camouflage make up can be worn during the healing process.
