UTAH FACIAL SCAR TREATMENT IN SALT LAKE CITY

So you have a scar on your face and you’re wondering what to do. Will insurance cover it? If not, what will it cost? Dr. Mobley is one of the most experienced surgeons in the area of facial scar treatment in this region of the country. If you have been involved in an accident or trauma that brought you to the Emergency Room within the past few months, the work that Dr. Mobley will perform is often viewed as a continuation of the medical care directly connected to your injury. Surgeries within this time period are more likely to be covered by insurance.

If more than a few months have passed since your injury, there is a significant chance that your insurance company will not cover scar revision treatment. In these cases, you would be responsible for all treatment costs, just as with any cosmetic facial surgery. The good news is that there are many treatment options available.

The treatment plan may consist of minor in-office procedures under local anesthesia. If the procedure requires the safety and technology of an operating room setting, our out-of-pocket fees are very reasonable for the amount of time and skill required in these surgeries. Finally, financial options are also available. Keep in mind that this is your face, and the results can last a lifetime; the cost may be a wise investment in your personal appearance.

Do keep in mind that Dr. Mobley’s goal will be to camouflage your scar as much as possible. Most often, this will require more than one technique being used. For example, if you have a depressed scar (as with acne pock scars), the first step is often to cut out the scar and close the wound using facial plastic surgery technique. A second step is to perform dermabrasion in the area approximately two months later. Additional procedures are sometimes necessary; it all depends on how much scarring you have and how much camouflage you want to achieve.

We hope you find this information helpful. If you are serious about improving your facial scars in accordance with the above information, please call our office to schedule a consultation.
