-Scarring- Although normal healing after the procedure is expected, abnormal scars may occur both in the skin and deeper tissues. In rare cases, keloid scars may result. Additional treatments may be needed to treat scarring. Strict adherence to all advised post- operative instructions will reduce the possibility of scarring.
