Understanding scar revision
Scar revision enhances scar appearance through methods that decrease the size of the scar. It can also reposition scars, modify skin texture and pigmentation for better integration with natural skin tone.
The procedure serves to address various types of scars such as:
Hypertrophic scars: Hypertrophic scars appear as elevated red marks which remain confined to the wounded area.
Keloid scars: The scars known as keloids present as thick raised growths which extend past the initial wound site.
Contractures: The skin tightens due to scars which create restrictions in movement.
The revision surgery provides multiple advantages for scar treatment by addressing hypertrophic scars keloid scars and contractures.
Scar visibility: Revision surgery minimizes scar visibility to make them merge with the surrounding tissue.
Skin texture: Dermabrasion and laser therapy work together to create a smooth surface for scars that have raised or uneven textures.
Comfort and mobility: The treatment eases constriction while enhancing flexibility for patients whose scars limit their movement.
How we approach scar revision
Dr. Mihail Climov employs more than 60 surgical and non-surgical scar revision options within Integrated Aesthetics to develop individualized treatment plans for each patient.
The treatment of raised or uneven scars through non-surgical methods includes dermabrasion and laser therapy as well as chemical peels and skin-bleaching agents to improve texture and color. Deep or complex scars require surgical excision because this procedure enables both scar removal and skin repositioning to achieve a smoother skin surface. Multiple techniques are implemented together to achieve the most effective results.
The chosen treatment method determines the length of time needed for recovery. The duration of recovery following surgical procedures ranges from brief to extensive periods depending on the procedure’s complexity. Here’s what to expect:
- Patients require one to two weeks for their procedures to heal but they will maintain swelling and redness for an extended period.
- The process of scar healing requires several months until the complete results become apparent during the year following treatment.
- The treatment outcome depends on proper wound care and activity limitations as well as scheduled follow-up appointments.
