The successful revision and camouflage of facial scars is as much an art as a science, and the best teacher is continued experience; however, common sense, a broad knowledge of available options, technical ability, and patience are all necessary if one chooses to practice in this challenging field. Patients with facial scars are vulnerable in a way that few others are, and it is the responsibility of the facial plastic surgeon to evaluate these patients properly and realistically, to prepare them for a process that may involve multiple procedures, and to see them through this process with all the expertise and compassion possible. If this is done, the rewards to the patient and to the surgeon can be immeasurable.
面部疤痕的成功修复与掩饰既是一门科学，也是一门艺术，而持续的经验是最好的老师；然而，如果一个人选择在这个具有挑战性的领域执业，常识、对现有选择的广泛了解、技术能力和耐心都是必不可少的。面部有疤痕的患者以一种很少有人能比的方式变得脆弱，面部整形外科医生有责任恰当地、现实地评估这些患者，让他们为可能涉及多个手术的过程做好准备，并以尽可能多的专业知识和同情心陪伴他们度过这个过程。如果做到了这一点，对患者和外科医生的回报可能是无法估量的。
