  • Skin grafts or flaps for more complex areas
  • Laser or non-surgical treatments to enhance color and texture

Preparing for Your scar revision Journey

What to Expect with Scar Revision

Scar revision is typically performed under local anesthesia, with sedation or general anesthesia used for larger or more complex areas.



During the procedure, the surgeon removes or reshapes the scar tissue and carefully closes the area to promote smooth, balanced healing. Recovery varies based on the technique used, but most patients experience mild swelling and tenderness for a few days. Sutures are usually removed within one to two weeks, and proper wound care is essential to optimize the final result.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from scar revision varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, but most patients experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for several days. Sutures are removed in one to two weeks, and full healing and scar maturation can take several months.



Final results are long-lasting, with significant improvement in scar appearance, texture, and contour. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and avoiding sun exposure helps preserve the outcome.
