Some types of facial wounds are more likely to leave a scar than others. These include:
Jagged wounds on the face.
Cuts on the eyelids.
Cuts to the lips, especially if they cut through the edge of the lip.
Stitches or other treatment may help prevent scarring. It's best to get treated within 8 hours of the injury.
