I want to remove my facial marks

Published by

I have the traditional facial marks of my ethnic group which has been causing me a lot of embarrassment since I attained adulthood. I was reliably informed that the facial marks  can be removed through plastic surgery.  I will appreciate it if you can direct me to where I can undergo the operation

Plastic Surgery can only remove facial marks that are not too deep or widespread on the face. If the facial marks are limited to a part of the face such as both sides of the mouth or part of the face, they can easily be managed. However, heavy marks on the cheeks, nose and face will be difficult to be removed.
