Scar in chin/neck

I have a scar on my neck/ chin area from when I was 5 years old and a dog bite. I have scars near my eye, nose, and side chin but these do not bother me. The surgeon did a wonderful job, but on my lower chin because the placement and how this skin does not drop with the rest of my face it makes me look like I have a double chin at any lower angle. Is there a way to reduce this scar?

Procedure: Cosmetic Surgery
Location: ANTIOCH, IL

It is possible that the scar could be improved but you need an in-person evaluation for a proper assessment.

Yes, most scars could be improved. However, a face to face evaluation is necessary to determine what needs to be done.
