Introduction
Scar Revision Treatment
Scar tissue forms when wounds heal, and some scars are unattractive or extremely noticeable. Some create thick tissue clusters at the site of a wound. Keloid scars are scars that are bigger than the initial incision and can be itchy or uncomfortable. Contracture scars might potentially limit mobility.
Scar revision aims to reduce the look and impact of scars, and the kind of scar will determine the method of therapy.
A surgical operation, a less invasive therapy, or even a simple topical treatment may be used. None of these, however, can fully remove a scar.

Recovery From Scar Revision Surgery
As with any surgery, it is critical to follow all directions in order to maximize recovery and healing. Depending on the type of operation, your doctor will advise you on all activity limits. Scars cannot be totally eliminated, but can have a more faded appearance. Many factors will influence the degree of healing of your specific scar, with some scars taking more than a year to improve in appearance after surgery.
