Scar Revision

Turn a visible scar into history.

“The goal for scar revision, is to reduce the scar and make it blend naturally with surrounding skin.” — Dr Gaurav Patodia

Scar revision surgery improves the appearance of scars caused by injury, burns, surgery, acne, or previous procedures. A plastic surgeon may use surgical revision, Z-plasty, skin grafting or flap reconstruction. These techniques aim to flatten or smooth the scar and align it with natural skin lines. The surgeon plans treatment around the scar type, location and skin characteristics. The aim is to make the scar less noticeable and help it blend with the surrounding skin.

Why Consider Scar Revision?

Improves skin texture and contour, making scars blend more naturally with surrounding skin.
Plastic surgeons are uniquely trained in skin healing, scar biology, and aesthetic reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions..

Can a scar be completely removed?

A scar cannot be completely erased. However, scar revision surgery can improve its appearance and make it less noticeable. It may also align the scar more closely with natural skin lines.

When is the right time for scar revision surgery?

Surgeons usually revise scars after they mature, several months after the original injury or surgery. However, the timing depends on the scar type and location.

Will the scar come back after surgery?

In most cases, the scar heals in a much-improved form. Proper surgical technique, aftercare and scar management help achieve the best long-term results.
