Scar Revision

As we go through life most people will experience some form of surgery, trauma or injury. These injuries may result in a scar which can cause a patient concern. Quite often these scars can be revised.

Depending on the size and location of the scar, surgical removal can be a good option. Your surgeon will be able to significantly reduce the appearance of your scar by removing the excess tissue and repositioning it so it heals in a more discreet manner. Unfortunately there is no way to erase a scar completely however there are a number of techniques that can be used to reduce their appearance.

The procedure for Scar Revision

The procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on how big your scars are and how involved they may be. Some scars can be revised with local anaesthetic which means that you will be awake however the area is completely numb. If you have a much larger or slightly more complex scar, your surgeon may recommend that you have a general anaesthetic, meaning that you will be asleep, although this is quite rare. Sometimes the treatment can be carried out in our clinical outpatient rooms however this does depend on the size and location of the scar.

The type of result you can expect and any risks will be discussed with you by your dedicated surgeon.

For more information on the procedure please feel free to request a call back from our dedicated cosmetic team.
