I would first see a dermatologist. If it is out of his/her scope, you may be referred to a plastic surgeon.If i wanted to remove a facial scar not due to acne, do I see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon?
Depends on the size of the scar, but I'd start with the derm first. If it's too big/deep for him/her to fix it, then you could see a plastic surgeon. While you're at the dermatologist you can get a check up to see if you have any pre-cancerous spots: if you do, then most of your appointment will be covered by insurance.





Good luck!
I believe a plastic surgeon would be the best as they specialize in that sort of thing. I think the best a dermatologist can do is recommend some type of remedy to lessen the appearance of it, if it all possible.
