"I get asked that a lot when talking with people about surgery. The truth is, anytime there is a cut through the skin, there is a 100% chance of a scar," Dr Cyr said, adding "scarring is a natural part of the healing process after an injury. Its appearance and its treatment depend on multiple factors... the depth and size of the wound or cut and the location of the injury matter. So do your age, genes, sex, and ethnicity."
