[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last week she was in a bad car accident involving a tree. A lot of glass cut her face, and the ER used medical glue, not stiches. She is healing, and I promised her if she doesn't heal I will get her a consult with a plastic surgeon, but so far here is what we are doing:

- more medical glue for the cut at the corner where her lips meet (it falls off)
- she knows to stay out of the sun and not cover up the cuts with makeup until they've healed
- she has Bio Oil for when the cut is closed and scarring

Is there anything else I can get her?  A coworker just told me teens are into The Ordinary but I don't know what any of those potions do exactly. [/quote]

Plastic surgeon now. We used Mark Domansk in Fairfax and he was good.

There is something he can prescribe to help with the scarring that is better than Bio Oil, but there may still be scarring. Keeping out of the sun in crucial. My poor kiddo wore a bandaid on her forehead for months.

The good news is that she's young and the scar will fade. I have a scar above my lip that I got in 4th grade. It is not noticeable to people now unless I point it out.

I would also likely take her to a dermatologist after she is healed to see if there's anything that can be done to lessen any scarring.

Last, not to freak you out, but my cousin was in a bad car wreck as a young woman - glass everywhere. Pieces of glass embedded in her skin and worked their way out over a matter of months. It was freaky.[/quote]
