Scar Revision
Has a cut, burn or abrasion left severe scarring on your skin? Do you have acne scars you’d just love to see disappear? Are you looking for a way to make those scars less severe or less conspicuous? Your scar’s severity depends on the ways your body heals itself, how it responds to injury and how severe the injury was that caused the scar in the first place. Other variables, including the size and depth of the wound, the blood supply to the area, the thickness and color of your skin and the direction of the scar, can also affect severity.
Scar revision surgery is a cosmetic surgery option that can improve the way your scar looks, making it less noticeable to others. There are different types of scar revision surgery (including laser surgery, injections or skin grafts) and the type you have will depend on the severity of the scarring and your body’s response to the injury. While all scars are permanent, scar revision surgery may help conceal it and improve its overall appearance. Some scarring may naturally decrease over time so you may want to wait for a year or more before deciding to undergo scar revision.
