Severe acne breakouts can leave scars that are noticeable and since scars are not generally pleasing to look at, it may result in problems with self-esteem. Using creams and other products can help reduce their appearance, so that they become less obvious. But if the scars are too deep, there may be no other option but to go through surgical methods to completely remove them.
Cosmetic surgery for removing acne scars comes with some risks, which is why deciding on it should be a long and thorough process. You need to take time and make sure that this is really what you want and there are plenty of factors to consider and we have highlighted the main three below:
The kind of procedure you need
The dermatologist can do simple laser treatments or peeling effects to replace the top layer of the skin that has been damaged by acne. There is also another treatment that may require injection of dermal fillers to smoothen scars out, while deep scars may need a more complicated skin resurfacing procedure to replace and remove acne scars. New methods are being developed by experts to perfect this science.
As always, these processes may cause adverse effects, such as pain, redness or swelling, so be sure to thoroughly ask about the particulars of each procedure, as well as how to manage the after-procedure with your cosmetic surgeon. By knowing enough information, this will help you decide which one you will be most comfortable with.
