Scar Revision Surgery

Scar revision surgery offers a solution for individuals seeking to minimize the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery, or skin conditions. At Hobbs Clinic, our experienced specialists use advanced techniques to improve the texture, size, and overall visibility of scars, enhancing your skin’s appearance and restoring confidence.

What Is Scar Revision Surgery?

Scar Revision Surgery is a treatment or series of treatments aimed at reducing the visibility of a scar. Scars form as part of the body’s natural healing process when the skin is injured. Depending on the size, depth, and location of the injury, scars can vary significantly in appearance and texture. Some scars may be raised, sunken, or have an uneven texture, while others may affect movement if they are near a joint.

Types of Scars That Can Be Treated

Scar revision can be used to address various types of scars, including:

  1. Hypertrophic Scars:
    • Raised scars that remain within the boundary of the original wound but are thicker and more elevated.
  2. Keloid Scars:
    • Raised scars that extend beyond the original wound and may continue to grow over time. These scars are more common in individuals with darker skin tones.
  3. Atrophic Scars:
    • Sunken or depressed scars that are often the result of acne or chickenpox.
  4. Contracture Scars:
    • These scars result from burns and can tighten the skin, affecting movement, especially if located near a joint.
  5. Acne Scars:
    • Pitted or depressed scars caused by severe acne. These can vary in size and shape.
  6. Surgical Scars:
    • Scars that form after surgery and may be large or raised, depending on the surgical technique used and individual healing response.

Types of Scar Revision surgery Procedures

There are several scar revision techniques, each suited to different types of scars and patient needs. Here are the most common options:

  1. Surgical Excision:
    • For large or raised scars, surgical excision involves removing the scar tissue and closing the wound in a way that creates a smaller, less noticeable scar. This method is often used for keloid or hypertrophic scars.
  2. Laser Therapy:
    • Laser scar revision uses focused light energy to reduce the appearance of scars. It can help flatten raised scars, improve texture, and lighten the color of the scar. Laser therapy is especially effective for acne scars and surgical scars.
  3. Dermabrasion:
    • Dermabrasion is a mechanical procedure that removes the top layers of the skin, helping to smooth the scar and improve its appearance. It is often used for shallow scars or acne scars.
  4. Steroid Injections:
    • Steroid injections can be used to flatten and soften raised scars, such as keloids and hypertrophic scars. The injections work by reducing inflammation and collagen production in the scar tissue.
  5. Dermal Fillers:
    • For sunken or atrophic scars, dermal fillers can be injected to add volume to the scar, making it level with the surrounding skin. This treatment is commonly used for acne scars.
  6. Microneedling:
    • Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving the texture of scars. It is a popular treatment for acne scars and can help improve the overall appearance of the skin.
  7. Cryotherapy:
    • Cryotherapy involves freezing the scar tissue to reduce its size, particularly effective for small keloids or hypertrophic scars.
  8. Silicone Gel or Sheets:
    • These are non-invasive treatments that can be applied to scars to help flatten and soften them over time. They are often used as part of post-surgical scar care.
  9. Skin Grafting:
    • In cases of severe burns or large scars, a skin graft may be needed. This involves taking skin from another part of the body and transplanting it to cover the scarred area.

The Scar Revision Process: What to Expect

  2. Treatment:
    • The procedure itself will depend on the type of scar revision chosen. Non-invasive treatments like laser therapy or steroid injections are quick and may be performed in-office, while surgical options will require more planning and possibly anesthesia.
  3. Recovery:
    • Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. Non-invasive treatments typically have minimal downtime, while surgical procedures may require a few days or weeks of recovery.
  4. Follow-Up:
    • After your procedure, follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing and assess the results. Some treatments, such as laser therapy, may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

Benefits of Scar Revision Surgery

Scar revision can reduce the visibility of scars, making them blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

For individuals self-conscious about the appearance of their scars, revision procedures can boost self-esteem and improve body image.

Contracture scars, especially those near joints, can restrict movement. Scar revision can help restore mobility by releasing tight scar tissue.

Many non-surgical treatments, such as laser therapy or steroid injections, require little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities quickly.

Who Is a Candidate for Scar Revision surgery in Dubai?

  • Are bothered by the appearance of their scars.
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
  • Are in good general health and do not have conditions that would impair healing.
  • Have scars that are fully healed, typically at least one year old.

A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to evaluate your goals and determine the best approach for your needs.
