I think this is a question that only you and your plastic surgeon can answer. Chances are that all the hypertrophy won't fill out your skin completely. But a good plastic surgeon should be able to help you figure that out.

It's a big surgery and a big decision not to be taken lightly for sure!

Have you spoken to a plastic surgeon about scar revision? I am sure there are skilled surgeons who could improve your scar, but nothing will remove it completely.

Hi!
I have a scar that is 40mm x 5mm in my face that has lowered my self esteem and quality of life very much. I have tried to read about the scar removal treatments
that are avaiable, but from my understanding the science hasnt developed any way to fully remove scars yet. I know there are laser treatment, medical tatooing,
scar camouflage, surgery, skin transplant available. I guess the only way to completely remove a scar is to put makeup over, but i guess there isnt any magical
treatment like that available, that doesnt disapear from water?
Is there any company that does medical tatooing or scar camouflage that almost fully removes the scar?
Is there any world leading company that does scar removals or a surgeon you could contact for treatment? Country doesnt matter.
Im sorry for my bad english. I hope you could understand what i was saying anyway. And if i have posted this in the wrong forum im very sorry.
Thank you!

Have a safe drive! It will be good to get home and this behind you! Must feel really good!
I planned on staying just shy of 2 weeks, but I feel well enough I'm on my way home today (day 8). I will return in 3-5 weeks for a follow up.

I had a TT, not an LBL. I also did not have access to a recliner, so I got a foam wedge pillow from Amazon to use on the couch and in bed. Great purchase!
