What Is Scar Revision?

Scar revision is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance and function of scars. Scars are marks that remain on the skin after an injury, surgery, infection, or other skin condition. They can vary in size, shape, color, and texture, depending on the cause and healing process of the wound. Some scars may be flat, smooth, and pale, while others may be raised, thick, and dark. Some scars may also cause pain, itching, tightness, or limited movement of the affected area.

Scar revision can help reduce the visibility and discomfort of scars by changing their shape, size, color, or texture. It can also help restore the normal function and appearance of the skin and the underlying tissues. Scar revision can be done for various reasons, such as:

• To improve the cosmetic appearance of the scar and enhance the self-esteem and confidence of the patient.

• To correct a functional problem caused by the scar, such as impaired movement, sensation, or circulation.

• To prevent or treat a complication related to the scar, such as infection, inflammation, or keloid formation.

How Does Scar Removal Work?

How scar removal works depends on the type and technique of the treatment you choose. However, the general principle is to remove or modify the scar tissue and stimulate the growth of new and healthy skin cells. Here is a brief explanation of how some common scar removal techniques work:

•  Topical treatments: These are products that you apply to your scar to soften, flatten, or lighten it. They may contain ingredients that hydrate, protect, or heal your skin, such as silicone, steroids, vitamin E, or onion extract. They work by creating a barrier over your scar, preventing water loss and infection, and reducing inflammation and itching. They may also improve the blood flow and oxygen supply to your scar, enhancing its healing process.

•  Injectable treatments: These substances are injected into or under your scar to fill in depressions or reduce elevations. They may include fillers such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, or fat; or steroids such as cortisone or triamcinolone. They work by adding volume or reducing pressure to your scar, making it more level with the surrounding skin. They may also reduce the blood supply and fibrosis of your scar, preventing it from growing or hardening.

•  Surface treatments: These are procedures that remove or alter the top layer of your skin to improve its texture and color. They may include dermabrasion (sanding), chemical peels (applying acids), laser therapy (using light beams), or microdermabrasion (spraying tiny crystals). They work by removing the damaged or discolored skin cells and revealing the newer and healthier ones underneath. They may also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for keeping your skin firm and elastic.

•  Surgical treatments: These are procedures that involve cutting out or rearranging the scar tissue to create a new and improved scar. They may include excision (removing the scar), Z-plasty (making zigzag incisions), W-plasty (making W-shaped incisions), skin grafts (transplanting skin from another part of the body), or flap surgery (moving skin with its blood supply from one area to another). They work by removing the excess or abnormal scar tissue and closing the wound with fine stitches or glue. They may also improve the alignment and orientation of your scar with the natural lines and creases of your skin.
