Here are some specific scar topics for you to learn more. Click each thumbnail to take you to the specific topic!
Burns or other injuries resulting in the loss of a large area of skin may form a scar that pulls the edges of the skin together through a process called “contraction”. The resulting contracture may affect the adjacent muscles and tendons, restricting normal movement. Some scars can be softened by dermabrasion, a controlled scraping of the top layers of the skin, leaving a smoother surface.
Grafting involves the transfer of skin from a healthy part of the body (the donor site) to cover the injured area. The graft is said to take when new blood vessels form and allow the graft to survive. A procedure utilizing flaps is a complex technique in which skin, along with the underlying fat, blood vessels, and sometimes the muscle, is moved from a healthy part of the body to the injured site. Skin grafting and flap procedures can greatly improve the function of a scarred area.

“I had a lump removed from my forehead and had multiple procedures. Some of these procedures made it look worse. I had an indentation in my forehead that looked really bad. Previous corrections didn’t help. In fact one correction made it worse. With Dr Young it was a 100% different. The results were remarkable. I could move my forehead and it made it so I didn’t have a hole in my forehead. Dr Young has great follow up and that made a total difference. He seemed actually concerned how I recovered and healed.”
