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.
