Scar revision is a procedure that improves the appearance of scars — making them less noticeable, smoothing their texture, and, when a scar restricts movement, restoring function. Because scars form differently depending on an injury’s size, depth, and location, as well as your skin type, each treatment is tailored to your scar and your goals.
At Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery in Augusta, GA, Dr. Troy Austin offers scar revision using techniques ranging from steroid injections to surgical repair. While no scar can be erased completely, the goal is a significant, lasting improvement in how it looks and feels.
Depending on the complexity, procedures may be performed under local or general anesthesia and often as outpatient treatments.
