Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments for Scar Revision

Scar revision offers hope to individuals dealing with the aftermath of injuries or surgeries. At our renowned Plastic Surgery department, we’re committed to providing comprehensive solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

What is Scar Revision?

Scar revision involves surgical or non-surgical interventions to improve the appearance and function of scars resulting from injuries or surgeries. The goal is to restore both aesthetics and comfort.

During the initial consultation, our expert team will assess your specific case and recommend the most suitable approach. Here are some common options:

• Steroid Applications and Injections
• Silicone Gel Sheets
• Z-Plasty and Related Techniques
• Dermabrasion
• Vascular Laser
• Tissue Expansion
• Skin Grafts
• Collagen Injections
• Laser Skin Resurfacing

Why is Scar Revision Necessary?

Scars, whether from injury, surgery, or burns, can be both physically and emotionally distressing. They may cause discomfort, itching, or pain, and their appearance can affect self-confidence. Scar revision aims to mitigate these effects by improving scar aesthetics and functionality.

Commonly treated scars include hypertrophic, keloid, and contracture scars, each with its unique characteristics and challenges.

What Can I Expect from Scar Revision?

While scars cannot be permanently erased, scar revision can significantly improve their appearance and function. Your surgeon will work closely with you to understand your expectations and develop a personalized treatment plan.

During the initial consultation, you’ll:

• Provide your medical history, including previous surgeries and medications.
• Undergo a physical examination and documentation.
• Discuss potential risks and benefits of the procedure.

If you opt for surgery, you’ll receive comprehensive pre-operative instructions. Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure a safe and comfortable surgical experience, often on an outpatient basis.
