Scar revisions

Scar revision is surgery to improve or reduce the appearance of scars. It also restores function and corrects skin changes (disfigurement) caused by an injury, wound, poor healing, or previous surgery.

Wounds and trauma to the body can have lasting results. They can severely affect the aesthetics of the body, therefore requiring plastic surgery as a reconstructive measure. Using reconstructive surgery to cover trauma and wounds also protects the area further. Most of the wound and trauma problems are related to the resulting scar. Scar revision is, therefore, the foremost concern for most patients requiring trauma and wound coverage.

Who can consider Scar Revision?

Scar revision can be considered by the people who have:

• second degree or deep burns.
• Large scar from a wound that healed poorly.
• A depressed scar that looks very unaesthetic and draws unwanted attention.
• Discolored skin due to the scar, and the difference is very evident.
• Surgery that resulted in scars or the need for reconstruction.
