Commonly Asked Questions

Will I have scarring, and what will it look like?
Usually, facial injuries and lacerations can be improved with laser therapy and time. Certainly, there will be some signs of the injury, but these lessen as time goes by. In children, these typically show up as a bright pink line for several months following the surgical repair. This tends to fade in a 6 to 12-month period, and it is important to keep sun block on and to avoid direct sun exposure.

What can be done to improve residual scarring?
Dr. Gross frequently uses Pulse Dye Laser to improve scars. Other techniques include Dermabrasion, Microdermabrasion or scar revision using techniques such as W-plasty or Z-plasty. It is very important to follow wound care instructions given to you by Dr. Gross to achieve best results.
