SCAR REVISION

WHAT IS SCAR REVISION?

Scar revision surgery will attempt to minimize a scar so that it is less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture.

​

Although scar revision can provide a more pleasing cosmetic result or improve a scar that has healed poorly, a scar cannot be completely erased.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR SCAR REVISION?

Scar revision is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

​

Scar revision can be performed on people of any age and is a good option for you if:

• You are bothered by a scar anywhere on your body

• You are physically healthy

• You do not smoke

• You have a positive outlook and realistic goals for your scar revision surgery

• You do not have active acne or other skin diseases in the area to be treated

ARE RESULTS GUARANTEED?

The final results of your scar revision surgery will be long-lasting, however it may take several months for your final results to become apparent and in some cases it may take a year for the new scar to fully heal and fade.
