It is always a good idea to obtain a second (or even a third!) opinion before undergoing elective aesthetic surgery. Always seek out doctors who are board-certified in appropriate specialties by the American Board of Medical Specialties (for example plastic surgeons should actually be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery). That way you can be confident that you are getting an opinion from a properly trained specialist in the field, as opposed to an individual who has simply taken a weekend course and received a certificate from a bogus certification organization. Good luck with your search!

The good news is that many scars can be improved with various types of plastic surgical procedures including scar revision surgery or laser resurfacing. The bad news, however, is that once a scar has occurred, it can never be completely removed. There are also several topical treatments that can help a scar to look better, especially silicone based gels and sheets. It is important to be aware that sun exposure can cause a fresh scar to darken, so be sure to use sunblock to protect any affected areas.

Age spots on hands and faces are common problems. In order to improve the hyperpigmentation that causes the spots, it is crucial to apply sunblock daily. A daily skin care regimen utilizing gentle lightening agents such as SkinMedica Lytera or SkinCeuticals Pigment Regulator can be very helpful. If the gentle treatments are not effective, a 4% hydroquinone cream such as Obagi Clear may be used for a few months to boost lightening. Laser treatments such as Fractional CO2 resurfacing are very helpful as well for more rapid results, but require strict sunblock use following treatment to avoid recurrence.
