Las Vegas Scarring & Disfigurement Lawyer

Although for the most part scars are a purely cosmetic issue, they can have a significant, lifelong impact on your personal and professional life. As the saying goes, first impressions are everything, and unfortunately, many people put a great deal of stock in personal appearance. Although a scar does not reflect whatsoever on someone's personality, others may react poorly to seeing a facial scar or facial disfigurement.

This process is more than likely entirely inadvertent, but regardless of the reason, this type of discrimination does occur, and it can cause personal embarrassment and in some cases, even professional trouble. A salesperson, who in many cases is judged by his or her looks, can be extremely adversely affected by a facial scar.

Types of Scars

There are numerous types of scars that may affect a person in ways beyond the mere cosmetic. Some of these types of scars include:

• Keloid Scars: Resulting from the healing process, keloid scars may extend beyond the actual site of injury. They occur when the body is over-aggressive in the wound-healing process, and may be caused by surgery, accidents, or even body piercings.
• Contracture Scars: Most commonly occurring in burn victims, this causes the skin to contract and may reduce mobility.
• Hypertrophic Scars: These look like red lumps on the skin, and occur as a result of the body's overproduction of collagen.
