Scar revision is a surgical or non-surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of a scar, reducing its visibility, or restoring function to the affected area. It is commonly performed to treat scars resulting from injury, surgery, burns, acne, or other skin traumas.
While a scar cannot be entirely removed, scar revision techniques can significantly enhance its appearance, making it less noticeable or better blended with surrounding skin.
These are surgical techniques used to reposition the scar in a way that aligns it with natural skin folds or contours, making it less visible.
Recovery time varies depending on the technique used, but many patients can expect gradual improvement over several weeks or months. The final result may take time as scars can continue to heal and fade for up to a year after the procedure.
