Scar revision

A scar revision is suitable for anyone with an unsightly scar seeking to improve its appearance. This surgical procedure is particularly recommended for individuals with hypertrophic or keloid scars, or those who have undergone previous surgery resulting in a noticeable scar.

The primary goal of a scar revision is to enhance the appearance of the scar by making it thinner and less noticeable. Through the use of advanced plastic surgery techniques, Dr. Guberman can alter the shape and texture of the scar to better match the surrounding skin. By combining this procedure with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments, it is possible to accelerate healing and stimulate tissue regeneration, further reducing the visibility of the scar. The ultimate result is a more aesthetically pleasing and less visible scar, which can help patients feel more confident and improve their quality of life.

Surgery

The possible alternatives

Different methods of cosmetic surgery can be used for a scar revision, depending on the individual needs and preferences of each patient. The most common techniques include:

Local anesthesia

The scar revision surgery is performed under local anesthesia, allowing the patient to remain awake during the procedure. The scarred area is completely numbed, reducing pain and discomfort. The benefits of local anesthesia include a shorter recovery time and a lower risk of complications compared to general anesthesia. Patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities until the scarred area is fully healed.

PRP treatment

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments can be combined with scar revision surgery for optimal results. The platelets in the plasma contain growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration, accelerating healing and helping to reduce the appearance of the scar. PRP is often administered by injection directly into the scarred area during the scar revision procedure. While results may vary from patient to patient, PRP treatments can significantly improve the appearance of the scar and expedite the healing process.

Dr. Guberman may recommend a combination of these techniques to achieve an optimal result based on the individual needs and aesthetic goals of each patient.

Recovery

A scar revision is a common cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct unsightly scars resulting from injury, surgery, or skin conditions. After surgery, it is crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions for a safe and effective recovery.

Recovery time varies depending on the scar revision technique used, as well as the size and depth of the scar. However, most patients can resume their normal daily activities within a few days to a week, but it is important to adhere to Dr. Guberman’s instructions to avoid any complications.
