Simple Scar Revision

Simple scar revision procedures can be performed under local anaesthesia for smaller-sized scars. The surgeon may use dermal fillers, injectables, or gels to reduce the visibility of the scar and to help it blend in with the rest of the skin. This treatment can require single or multiple sessions depending on the size of the scar.

Fat Grafting Scar Revision

Fat grafting is a new technique in scar revision procedures. This is also called “Autologous” fat grafting (meaning the patient’s own tissues are used in the scar revision). This treatment involves liposuction (removing fat from one part of the body) and then injecting the tissues into the scar site.

This is an effective treatment when the scars are caused by burns or surgery, and it limits the range of motion for the patient. This surgical procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. 

Skin Grafting Scar Revision

Skin grafting is similar to fat grafting. In the skin grafting procedure, the doctor will remove healthy skin from a part of your body and graft it onto the scar site. This improves the scar and blends it in with the rest of the body.

Z Plasty Scar Revision

Z Plasty is a reliable surgical procedure for scar revision. The cosmetic surgeon who performs Z Plasty needs to be highly skilled because this procedure involves critical operating techniques.

The procedure for Z Plasty helps in lengthening the scar or breaking it and finally camouflaging it with the relaxed tension lines of the rest of the skin. The outcome of a Z Plasty is to make the scar look like a natural part of the skin. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia.

Keloid Scar Revision

Keloid is a type of scar that grows higher than the skin. Keloids appear after an injury has healed. They can be itchy and painful.

There are different treatment options for keloid scars:

Intralesional Injections: The surgeon will inject a steroid-based intralesional injection at the scar site. The steroid helps break the bonds between collagen fibres. This results in making the scarring smaller. The amount of injection will be determined based on the scar size and other health conditions of the patient.

Surgical Excision: In the case of certain keloid scars, the doctor may recommend surgical excision. In this treatment method, the doctor removes the keloid during a small surgical procedure and injects intralesional steroids to help with the healing.
