Scar Revision

Scars form as a natural part of the healing process, but their appearance can vary widely based on factors such as the injury’s size, depth, and location, as well as your skin type and healing process. Scar revision aims to improve the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable and restoring functionality when scars restrict movement.

While scars cannot be completely erased, our procedures are designed to significantly reduce their visibility and improve their texture. Each treatment is customized to meet your unique needs and goals.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Steroid Injections: Reduces redness, itching, and thickness in some scars.
  • Surgical Techniques: Includes methods like Z-plasty, skin grafting, and flap surgery to reposition or remove scar tissue for a more refined appearance.
  • Dermabrasion: Smooths the skin’s surface to reduce the prominence of facial scars.

Depending on the complexity, procedures may be performed under local or general anesthesia and often as outpatient treatments.

Recovery Process

  • Follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing.
  • Gradually resume normal activities as advised.
  • Be patient—scars take time to mature, and final results may not be visible for a year or more.
