Scarring Concerns After Facial Wound
Scarring Concerns After Facial Wound
Some types of facial wounds are more likely to leave a scar than others. These include:
- Jagged wounds on the face.
- Cuts on the eyelids.
- Cuts to the lips, especially if they cut through the edge of the lip.
Stitches or other treatment may help prevent scarring. It’s best to get treated within 8 hours of the injury.
