What is a Scar Revision?

What scar concerns can be addressed?

A scar revision is a cosmetic or medical procedure used to lessen the visibility or discomfort accompanied by a scar. Scar revision surgery is one of the best methods to alter the scar.

Benefits:

  • Enhance the unsightly scars’ appearance
  • Removes the scars that are hard to cover up.
  • Boost self-esteem and confidence.

The many types

Surgical Methods
Large or severe scars that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods are usually treated with these more invasive procedures.

  • Scar Excision-Remove the scars like hypertrophic and keloid scars entirely.
  • Z-plasty or W-plasty- Align the scar with skin creases by rearranging it.
  • Skin Grafting-Covers the scar by transplanting healthy skin that has been grafted from another area.
  • Tissue Expansion-Stretches surrounding skin to substitute scar tissue.

Non-surgical Methods
These less invasive surgeries are frequently used for small or normal scars.

  • Laser Therapy– enhances texture and lessens the pigmentation of scars.
  • Microneedling– encourages the synthesis of collagen to smooth out scars.
  • Chemical Peels– they enhance the look of scars by exfoliating damaged skin layers.
  • Steroid Injections– minimises the thickness and signs of hypertrophic and keloid scars.
  • Dermabrasion– Smooths small or acne scars by mechanically removing the outer skin layer.
  • Dermal Fillers– Creates a more uniform skin surface by filling up depressed scars.

The procedure
Scar Revision At Work
What do I need to know?

Scar revision treatment works by removing scarred tissue caused by burns, injury, or from surgery operations. Scars can be removed in either surgical or non-surgical procedures, depending on the type of scar and its severity, as well as its location.

Can the scars be removed without surgery?

They are non-surgical methods and topical solutions or treatments that can be applied to the scars. However, it can only treat simple or normal scars such as flat, pale, or slightly darker scars. Those severe or complex scars can only be removed with surgery.

The Key Steps
What can I expect during the treatment?

You need to have a consultation and plan with your surgeon to evaluate your scar, medical history, and expected outcomes. Your surgeon will recommend and explain the technique that is suitable for the type of scars you have.

On the day of the procedure, you will be prepped and cleansed to avoid the risk of infection. You will be given local or general anaesthesia depending on the complexity of the procedure. Methods may involve skin grafting, incision, laser therapy, or dermabrasion, depending on what type of treatment is recommended for you. Your doctor may apply dressings and sutures after the treatment.

Before going home, you will be given a post-operative care instruction for proper healing and quick recovery.

How long does the process last?

Revision may take 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the size, location, and complexity of the scars. However, the procedure may take longer if the scar is large, located in the hard-to-treat area, or requires a lot of repositioning and correction.

Safety And Comfortability
Is it safe?

Scar revision whether it is a surgical or non-surgical procedure is generally safe, especially when performed by a board-certified surgeon. However, cosmetic treatments may carry risks of complication, which is why it is important to choose a trusted and experienced surgeon.

Is it hurtful?

Scar revision can be painful or may cause discomfort. The severity of pain depends on the kind of treatment you get. Your doctor may use topical or local anaesthesia to make you comfortable during the process.

Scar Revision Options
What type of scars can be treated?

Scar revision can address different types of scars. The following are the main types of scars that can be treated.

 

  • Hypertrophic Scars- Thick and elevated scars that stay within the original wound.
  • Keloid Scars- Raised thick scars that develop beyond the wound location.
  • Atrophic Scars- Depressed or sunken scars, usually the result of acne, chickenpox, or trauma.
  • Contracture scars- A scar from burns that make the skin tighten.
  • Facial Scars- Facial scars from acne, trauma, or surgery.
  • Stretch Marks- Thin and stretched scars from pregnancy or drastic weight change.
  • Traumatic Scars- Scars from accidents or injuries.

Are the results permanent?

 

Yes, scar revision can be permanent, but environmental variables, ageing, or poor treatment can still affect scars. It is important to protect and take good care of the area; use sun protection and scar care products to maintain good results.

Scar Care Guidance
When should I call my doctor after my scar revision surgery?

Proper care of the treatment area is important after the surgery. Call your doctor if you experience or notice some unusual signs after your scar revision. These may include, increased swelling or bruising, persistent redness, severe pain, fever, puss in the incision area, and excessive bleeding, as well as numbness.

Can the scars be completely removed?

Scars cannot be removed completely because the damaged skin will not return to its normal appearance after healing. However, a scar treatment and surgery can make the scar more pleasing and less visible.
