What is a scar revision?
A scar revision is a surgery used to alter the appearance of a scar. The revision may enhance the scar’s aesthetic look, restore function in a body area that was previously restricted by the scar, or improve an itchy scar. It’s important to keep in mind that scars cannot be fully removed.

The procedure Of scar revision
- We understand that going through surgery may be a nervous and stressful period, but our professional and friendly medical staff will be with you every step of the journey.
- This treatment is performed under local anesthesia, thus the treated area will be fully numb. It is performed out by a plastic surgeon with experience in scar correction and dermatology.
- If your consultant thinks that surgery is the best choice for you, they will make Multiple tiny incisions on both sides of the scar site, forming a V-shape that alters the scar and makes it less noticeable.
- After the procedure, the wound is stitched and dressed. Stitches are typically removed within three to four days for the face and five to seven days for the rest of your body. Stitches that dissolve themselves are commonly used for the body.
