Scar Revision Treatment

 

Injury or sudden stretch leaves wounds that can’t be removed easily.

Leaving you in a state of insecurity for the rest of your life.

Scars depend on how much scarring there is:

  • Size, depth, and location of the wound
  • Your age
  • Skin characteristics, such as colour (pigmentation)

 

Scar Revision

 

 

Scar revision surgery is the best option to revise or minimize the visibility of the scars.

It also improves function and corrects changes in the skin caused by an injury, wound, slow healing, or prior surgery (disfigurement).

 

Scar revision can be performed when you are awake (local anaesthesia), unconscious (sedated), or fast asleep and pain-free (general anaesthesia), depending on the nature of the area of operation.

Z-Plasty Surgery

It is a form of plastic surgery used to improve the practical and aesthetic look of scars. It is possible to redirect a scar into proper alignment with a normal skin fold or the lines of least skin stress with this procedure. With this procedure, contracted scars can be lengthened. Z-plasty requires the development of two similarly dimensioned triangular flaps that are then transposed.

Faqs

Heading Line
In most cases, a scar revision procedure can be completed within one to two hours. However, if a scar is large, in an area that is challenging to address, or requires extensive revision and tissue repositioning, the surgery may take longer.
You may be given general anaesthesia to keep you asleep and free from pain during surgery. With local anaesthesia, you may still feel pressure or pushing during surgery, but you should not feel any sharp pain. Your surgeon may make an incision around the scar to remove it.
Z-plasty is a procedure used to revise more serious scars. A surgeon cuts along either side of the scar and creates angled flaps that can reposition or change scar direction, interrupt scar tension and make the scar less visible.
There is no procedure yet that will make a scar disappear completely. However, there are treatments to make a scar less noticeable, hese include Surgical Scar Revision-  a method of removing a scar and rejoining the normal skin.
The initial healing phase of a surgical scar revision may include localized swelling, discolouration or discomfort and may take 1 to 2 weeks. Healing will continue for several weeks and as the new scar heals it will slowly refine and fade.

Scar formation is an inevitable consequence of wound healing from either a traumatic or surgical intervention. Scar revision does not erase a scar but helps to make it less noticeable and more acceptable. Both surgical and non-surgical techniques, used either alone or in combination can be used for revising a scar.
