Scar Revision
Scar Revision is a solution for individuals who wish to remove scars that are clearly visible, such as on their faces, hands, and joints (impairing movements). The operation will make the scars less noticeable, improve joint-related movements, and even pain and itchiness in some cases.
The main approaches include regular stitching, skin graft, and local flap. Deciding which approach to use will depend on the size and position of the scar. The “new” scar will still be clearly visible after the operation, but it will shrink and fade during the first 1 to 1.5 years, after which it will remain the same.
Recommended for:
Individuals with clearly visible scars from accidents, previous operations, bulging scars, or keloids.
Operation details:
The operation detail will vary case by case, depending on the characteristic of the scar.
Post-operational treatments:
-
Apply some cold packs to the area during the first 3 days.
-
Clean the area daily, avoid contact with water.
-
Remove the suture on Day 7, after which the wound can come in contact with water.
-
Avoid sunlight exposure during the first 3 months.
-
The swelling will be less noticeable after 6 months.
-
The scar may be visible during the first 3 months, after which will be less noticeable within 1 year.
Possible side-effects:
The possibility of contracting any negative side-effects is very rare.
