What Is Scar Revision?

Scar revision is a go-to treatment plan used for targeting scar tissue that doesn’t look very attractive, leaving you self-conscious.

Treatment focuses on blending the scar with the surrounding skin for a more natural result.

The ultimate aim of scar revision being to reduce the visibility of scars and improve how they feel in relation to the surrounding skin.

 

Types of Scars Treated

Scar revision is great for a wide range of scar type concerns, including:

  • Keloid scars
  • Hypertrophic scars
  • Acne scars
  • Burn scars
  • Surgical scars

Each scar is unique, so treatment is always tailored to your needs. That’s why the first thing that needs to be done is to identify the type of scar being treated. Once that is done, the correct scar revision treatment can be administered.

 

Scar Revision Techniques

There are several advanced scar revision techniques available, depending on the scar quality and affected area.

 

Non Surgical Treatments

  • Laser therapy to improve skin tone and texture
  • Silicone gel and pressure therapy to support healing
  • Steroid injections for raised scars
  • Dermal fillers to improve volume in certain scars

Surgical Options

    • Surgical excision to remove a noticeable scar
    • Skin grafts and flap surgery for complex cases
    • Tissue expansion to use adjacent tissue for repair
  • Fat transfer to enhance volume and improve regeneration of the deeper layers in the skin

These procedures are performed under local/general anaesthetic or sedation with minimal downtime. It is best to double-check with your plastic surgeon, who will guide you in the best way possible. For example, at Goutos London, Mr Ioannis Goutos will explain the treatment options offered at his world-renowned clinic, and which one is the best option for you.

The Long-Term Benefits of Scar Revision

One thing is for sure: the long-term benefits of scar revision go way beyond just appearance.

Patients who undergo scar revision often experience:

  • Improved cosmetic appearance
  • Smoother skin tone
  • Reduced skin irritation and discomfort
  • Better wound healing
  • Improved scar formation
  • Increased self-esteem and renewed confidence

Depending on the size, location, and texture of the scar, it can be a constant concern playing on your mind. The thought that people are looking at it, thinking it is hideous, etc. Luckily, scar revision can eliminate all of that in no time, making it all go away with very little bother to your lifestyle.

For many, it is a life-changing cosmetic procedure, and one they only ever regret not doing sooner.

Factors such as the healing process, subcutaneous fat, and the condition of the undamaged skin all influence results.
