I have bad scars on my hand and want to remove them. Can scars on hand be completely removed?

Ugly scars on the dorsum of the hand can often be removed and traded for smaller less obvious scars.
It really depends on the condition of the tissue surrounding the scars and if there is enough "good" tissue to cover the area after the scar is removed.
Less frequently skin grafts from another area can be used but it is hard to get that tissue to match the skin of the hand.

A Plastic Hand Surgeon may be able to help you.
In a word…No. Any operation to remove a scar leaves a new scar, always.
No, not completely. But the laser is sometimes a good option.
This really depends upon where on the hand the scars are. Most scars can be removed but there is always a chance that they can recur after they are surgically removed. I would recommend you consult a hand surgeon.
