Hi there,
Four days ago, I fell and smacked my mouth into the corner of a very jagged wicker sofa. I was pretty banged up, but, at the time, I felt my injuries weren't severe enough to warrant a trip to the doctor. However, now that the swelling has gone down and my scabs are beginning to come off, I think I may have made a grave mistake. Specifically, I now have two rather large, red scars just below the left side of my mouth, and I am not at all pleased about how they look. My question is: Is it too soon after the injury to talk seriously with a cosmetic surgeon about some sort of scar revision procedure? I read somewhere that most cosmetic surgeons will make you wait at least a full year after the injury before they'll touch scars. Thanks!
