Scar Correction Surgery

What is Scar Revision Surgery?

Scar revision surgery is a highly effective technique for managing and improving the appearance of various types of scars. It can address scars resulting from injuries, including:

  • Keloid scars – raised scars that extend beyond the original wound, commonly found on the chest, shoulders, or earlobes.
  • Depressed scars – such as those caused by acne or trauma.
  • Contracture scars – tight scars resulting from skin tension or wound healing.


This procedure aims to significantly improve scar appearance and increase the likelihood of a smooth, less noticeable result.

How is Scar Revision Surgery Performed?

Complete Scar Excision The surgeon removes the entire scar tissue and carefully re-sutures the area to minimize the formation of a new scar.

Partial Scar Removal for Large Scars: For larger scars, only part of the scar may be removed initially and closed with precise suturing. After the area heals, the remaining portion can be treated using the same surgical method or alternative techniques such as steroid injections, depending on the surgeon’s assessment.

Scar Tension Adjustment: For tight scars, the surgeon may reorient the incision or suture direction to reduce tension, prevent contracture, and minimize the risk of a noticeable scar.

This approach ensures that scars are not only treated effectively but also aesthetically optimized.

What Problems Can It Solve ?

Scar revision surgery employs specialized techniques to effectively improve the appearance and function of various types of scars. It can resolve the following concerns:

Raised Scars: Corrects keloid scars, which extend beyond the original wound, as well as hypertrophic scars that remain within the wound boundary but are raised.

Depressed or Pitted Scars: Improves atrophic scars such as those caused by acne, injury, or previous surgeries.

Wide or Stretched Scars: Addresses scars that have widened due to tension or improper healing, often from previous suturing.

Tight or Contracted Scars: Corrects scars that are tight, pulling on surrounding skin, especially in areas around joints or high-mobility regions, to restore normal movement and reduce discomfort.

This procedure not only enhances appearance but can also improve functionality and comfort, particularly in areas where scar tissue restricts movement.

Benefits and Precautions of Scar Revision Surgery

However, it is recommended to always consult with a qualified specialist to ensure an accurate assessment and a precise treatment plan that addresses your concerns effectively and delivers satisfying results.

Benefits:

  • Reduces scar visibility – scars appear less noticeable, smaller, and smoother.
  • Corrects deformities and functional limitations – effectively addresses keloid or hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that restrict muscle movement or cause discomfort, by surgically revising and suturing the area.
  • Versatile treatment options – techniques include surgical excision and re-suturing, laser therapy, steroid injections, skin grafting, and dermabrasion.
  • Can be combined with complementary procedures – such as steroid injections, dermal fillers, or laser treatments, to achieve harmonious and aesthetically pleasing results.

Precautions:

  • Risk of recurrence – scars may recur, particularly in individuals prone to keloid formation or with a genetic predisposition.
  • Postoperative care is essential – avoid sun exposure, refrain from strenuous exercise, and keep the surgical site dry during the initial healing period.
  • Results may vary – depending on age, skin type, scar location and size, and the surgeon’s expertise.
  • General surgical risks – may include swelling, redness, infection, wound dehiscence, or discomfort during the recovery period.
