Scar Revision Heal seamlessly

Types of scars to be treated:

• Facial scars – Making a good first impression is more important than ever in today's media-centric society. Everyone is expected to be visible in some capacity, whether via website, video, photographs or social media outlets. This can be especially challenging for those with facial scarring, as such blemishes may distort facial expressions or command unwanted attention and focus. A talented plastic surgeon can help facial scars to blend in better and be less noticeable, improving social functioning and quality of life in the process.
• Hypertrophic scars – Hypertrophic scars form when large amounts of the protein collagen is overproduced by the body as a response to trauma. These raised lesions are usually due to cuts, piercings or burns, and can appear red and thick. If a hypertrophic scar is located near a joint, it may cause movement to be restricted, which is a major reason for seeking out scar revision.
• Keloid scars – Like hypertrophic scars, keloid scars are the result of too much collagen production. Keloid scars are often treated through steroids, which can shrink their size; however, they may also be surgically removed.
• Burn scars – When the skin is exposed to hot temperatures or certain chemicals, the skin cells will form a contracture, or hardening of its tissue. Burn scars should be treated immediately to avoid the rigidity that can ultimately result in restricted movement and possible disfigurement.
