Scars are the body’s natural way of healing any surgical or traumatic wounds. In some instances scars may be raised, thick, discolored and painful. Depending on the location, size and appearance of scars they could be a significant source of physical and emotional discomfort.
Best Candidates
Women and men who would like to improve the appearance of their existing scars.
I have no apparent scar under my eye because of Dr. Kitto’s expertise. I highly recommend Dr. Kitto for all your plastic surgery needs. I have recommended her to my dermatologist, my PCP, and the wellness nurses at Brandermill Woods.

Treatment options
Dr. Kitto offers a variety of both surgical and non-surgical options for treatment of scars. For smaller scars on delicate areas such as the face microneedling with SkinPen™ could be a great option. For bigger, more raised scars on the body surgical excision with placement of stitches may be a better treatment. In order to find the best treatment for you Dr. Kitto will perform a complete evaluation, discuss your goals and create a customized plan for you.
Recovery process
For minimally invasive treatments such as microneedling with SkinPen™ the recovery is fairly quick. For treatments that involve surgical scar revision expect to have mild swelling and bruising. Patients are seen periodically in the office to ensure complete recovery.
Very professional. Really have enjoyed my results.
