Scar Revision Surgery

Scar revision surgery is meant to minimize or improve a scar so that its appearance is less noticeable and more consistent with your surrounding skin. Scars can be the result of previous surgery, trauma, or skin conditions like acne or chicken pox. While scars are, by definition permanent, surgery and other treatments can greatly fade and improve their appearance.

Ideal candidates for Scar Revision surgery are patients who wish to correct:
  • Widened, raised or depressed scars
  • Scars that vary in color and texture from surrounding healthy skin
  • Scars that distort normal surrounding structures
  • Unsightly scars that persist despite optimal nonsurgical treatment
A variety of treatment options exist, both surgical and nonsurgical:
  • Topical treatment such as silicone based bioCorneum+
  • Minimally invasive laser therapies
  • Surgical revision with a variety of advanced surgical closure techniques
