HI I'm new to plastic surgery coding.

I'm looking for help with a CPT code for Revision of acne scar on left cheek. I have been looking at CPT codes 11441 and 12051. Then I also saw for a "Scar Revision" to use 13160. The procedure note states: The scar was carefully excised parallel to the resting skin tension lines and repaired with 5-0 Vicryl in the deep and subq and 6-0 Prolene and plastic repair of the skin.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you
Kristy
