It's a very difficult question to answer mam! Lot depends on what kind of scar you have. Is it possible to completely make the scar disappear!? I don't think so and expecting that is unreasonable... By using a combination of techniques like laser, derabrasion, surgical excision intralesional steroid and so on
Next Steps
consult with both dermatologist and plastic surgeon please
