I don't have any suggestions, but face scars can be bad ass. Do you really not like it that much?
 
There is a product on the market called Mederma and it
seems to work for some. Vitamin E oil also works for some
scarring.

You could talk to a Dermatologist or try a Pharmacist first.
I wish you well, good luck.

talk to a dermatologist, maybe a chemical peeling would work fine...
 
Not all facial scars are the same because every person heals a little differently. From your description, it sounds like a large scar. From your profile and the comments that you made, it sounds like you are dark-skinned. Dark-skinned people tend to have pigment in their scars and they also have a tendency toward a more visible scarring called keloiding.

Have you had a plastic surgeon look at the scar? A plastic surgeon can look at the scar in an office visit and make a recommendation for the best treatment based upon the appearance of the scar and your skin type. Depending on where you live, the consult will probably cost you $75-150.

The surgery to repair a scar is called a scar revision. It can be expensive but it is the best option in many cases. There are other options and a plastic surgeon will recommend the best option for your case.
 
I was in a similar boat, i've a a few surgeries and have a few scars in various places. One ii use to hate is mid-torso to my navel. I tried everything! And i tend to not recommend vitamin E as people can be come sensitive to it. The best products i've found that really helped my scar flatten out and take on a closer skin color to my normal skin. Is made by https://www.alliedbiomedical.com/ they make a silicone sheet that is awesome and a silicone gel. I currently have scars in my arm pits from a recent surgery, i use the silicone sheets at night and the silicone gel during the day. And my plastic surgeon is totally amazed at how nice my scars look.

Some parts of my huge scar on my torso were hardcore keloid-ish. I had Kenalog (triamcinalone) (a type of steroid) injected into the scar. It really helped flatten out the thicker parts that hadnt responded to the silicone.

I've also done laser therapy for my scars on my hands, it worked fairly well. It helped more with the super pink/red color my scar had.

A dermatologist did my laser treatment for my hand scars and a Plastic surgeon did my torso, and my post procedure scars. I felt that the dermatologist was more concerned with the "clinical" aspect of the scarring where the Plastic surgeon was more concerned about the aesthetic of the scar.

Good luck!

Do you have any stretching in your scar? And how long did you use the gel/sheets?

Exactly. Anytime you have a scar that is very visible- like on your face- a plastic surgeon is going to be the best bet for addressing the appearance of the scar.

Hey there Eromenos, I have a scar on my forehead, kinda large and puffy, been there for 12+ years, I chose to not have plastic surgery b/c it A) gives you character, B) sometimes does more damage, C) the cost...Anywho, Some important tips to take care of it are sunscreen for the first couple years, SPF 50 or higher, you dont want to damage that vulnerable tissue, after all these years the redness has faded and most people dont even notice it...If you are considering plastic surgery, choose wisely, infections are popular with plastic surgery and that's the last thing you want is a staph infection on your face, and yes to be cliche, scars are hot and tell a story, best of luck to ya!! :)

As long as you follow your after care instructions the risk of infection is pretty minimal. Most surgeons put people on an antibiotic ( A little keflex, cleocin, or Bactrim DS does wonders) post op to help prevent any infection. I've had few plastic surgeries both elective and reconstructive and have never had a major post op infection. The only time i ever saw pus or any kind of drainage besides that from my JP drain, was the one time i had stitches instead of dermabond. And a little bactroban cleared that right up.

If the scar is really impacting how you feel about yourself, then you need to do what you think is best to deal with the scar. If YOU don't like the scar then everyone and their brother telling you that its hot or its not that bad or whatever isnt going to make you feel better. Life is too short to let something that you can fix muck you up mentally.

Expanding on this a bit-

Infection is a risk of any surgery. The way to reduce risk of complications is to do your homework on the surgeon and the place where the surgery is done.

There are physicians who advertise themselves as "cosmetic surgeons" who are actually dermatologists or general surgeons. What you need to look for is a board certified plastic surgeon. To obtain board certification in plastic surgery, a physician must have 6 years of training in surgery that includes 3 years of specialty training in plastic surgery.

The other thing to look for is where the procedure is being done. If you do chose to go the plastic surgery route, you can keep the cost low by using an outpatient surgery center. The surgery center should be a JCAHO-certified and AAAASF-certified facility. If the physician wants to do the procedure in his office or in a non-certified facility, go to another surgeon.

But again, go talk to the plastic surgeon and ask about non-surgical options. Plastics guys do much more than just surgery- they are the specialists in ways to address the appearance of the scar. He'll give you his opinion about your options and which he feels will give you the best option.
