Scar Revision Surgery

Scar revision surgery encompasses a range of techniques designed to improve the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable and more consistent with surrounding skin tone and texture. Scars can result from injuries, surgeries, burns, acne, or other skin conditions, and may cause both physical and emotional discomfort.

While no scar can be completely erased, our expert surgeons utilize advanced techniques to significantly reduce their visibility. The approach depends on the scar's location, size, type, and age, as well as your skin type and personal healing characteristics.

At Neoderma Clinica, our comprehensive scar revision treatments may include surgical procedures, laser therapy, dermabrasion, chemical peels, injectable treatments, or a combination of these approaches to achieve optimal results tailored to your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's generally best to wait until a scar has fully matured before pursuing revision, which typically takes at least 12 months. During this time, the scar naturally improves as it progresses through the healing phases. Premature intervention can sometimes lead to suboptimal results. However, certain scars, particularly those that are causing functional problems or significant distress, may benefit from earlier treatment. Your surgeon will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the optimal timing.

Yes, any surgical scar revision technique will create a new scar. However, the goal is to create a less noticeable scar that blends better with the surrounding skin in terms of color, texture, and contour. Surgical techniques like Z-plasty or W-plasty can reorient scars to follow natural skin lines, making them less conspicuous. Non-surgical techniques like laser therapy or dermabrasion may improve the appearance without creating new scars.

The number of treatments varies depending on the type of scar, its severity, and the revision technique used. Surgical revision is typically a one-time procedure, though complex cases may require staged approaches. Non-surgical treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, or injectable fillers usually require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Your surgeon will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

While most scars can be improved, the degree of improvement varies based on several factors including the scar's size, location, age, and type, as well as your skin type, age, and healing characteristics. Certain types of scars, such as keloids or hypertrophic scars, can be particularly challenging to treat and may have a higher risk of recurrence. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your scar and provide realistic expectations about potential improvement.
