Scarring is a common injury resulting from a dog bite/attack, and unfortunately some scars can be severe and even permanent. If you or a loved one has been injured in a dog bite attack.

We at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses, and this includes working on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

Some dog bite victims require corrective or cosmetic surgery to treat scarring and prevent it from becoming permanent, and common locations of scars include the face, hands, arms, and legs. Here are some common corrective procedures which are available to dog bite victims to treat and heal scarring:

  • Skin grafting – This is an invasive procedure for severe wounds and typically reduces the victim’s need for extensive time spent in the hospital or additional procedures in the future.
  • Muscle grafting – Muscle grafting is also used for severe dog bite wounds which involve severe damage to muscle tissue. This uses muscle tissue from a donor to repair the victim’s damaged tissue, and unfortunately, there are some risks of complications in this procedure.
  • Dermabrasion – A plastic surgeon uses a rotary wheel tool to scrape the skin’s top layers and reduce a scar’s presence without removing it entirely.
  • Tissue-rearrangement – This is typically used for severe lacerations and punctured tissue or ligaments. Healthy tissue from a different area of the body is applied to the wound area to assist the healing process.
