I have a very nasty scar on my face.

Question: I have recently had an accident (2 months ago) and have a very nasty scar on my face. Should I come in for a consultation about this now or should I wait for it to heal more?

Answer: If the scar on your face is truly unsightly, then it is likely you will need to have significant scar revision.  I do not think that waiting to fix a nasty scar that has no chance of healing appropriately is necessary.   If I felt that this was in fact the case, and scar revision is inevitable, then I would proceed with scar revision sooner than later.
