Hand scars can be minimized but not removed with plastic surgery Robert M Dryden, MD, FA CS Dragon NaturallySpeaking/RMD
It depends, but yes, a hand plastic surgeon can address hand scars.
It just depends on the scar. Where it is. How old it is. And many other factors. Laser treatments can be helpful in certain situations as well.

Scars in general can never be truly, 100% eliminated, but plastic surgery has many tricks and techniques to reduce and minimize the appearance and effects of scars.
