Although a natural and important part of the healing process, many people loathe their scars due to the fact that they are noticeable and can be aesthetically displeasing.  Individuals with insecurities regarding their scars may be good candidates for scar revision surgery, which can be used to minimize the appearance of scars and even help alleviate any pain caused by them.

In general, scar revision surgery can be done on patients of any age. It is a highly individualized procedure, and therefore, the amount of improvement that can be achieved will depend on the type, size, location, and severity of the scar.  Depending on the case, one or more techniques will be used in order to achieve optimal results.

Results from this procedure are long-lasting, but it may take several months for the results to be apparent.  Initial discoloration, localized swelling, and mild discomfort should only last 1-2 weeks. For several weeks after, the new scar will continue to heal and will fade over time.

Scar revision surgery is beneficial because it can provide you with confidence in your appearance, which certainly affects every aspect of your day-to-day life. Furthermore, individuals with painful or itching scars will benefit greatly, as the procedure alleviates these pesky symptoms, while also minimizing or removing the scar itself. Advanced techniques can be used to improve mobility for those that have suffered restricted mobility from contracture.
