Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a car accident about 30 years ago and had tracheostomy done. I have scar from that and want to see if you can provide options to remove it.
A: That trach scar can be improved by total scar excision and closure. But there will always be s acar. The goal of scar revision, which should be called scar replacement, is to have an improvement in its appearance. There is no way to completely get rid of it.
