Scar revision
Scar revision surgery in Surat at Elegance Clinic is a specialized procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars caused by acne, injuries, burns, or previous surgeries. While scars cannot be completely removed, modern techniques help reduce their visibility, improve skin texture, and create a smoother, more natural-looking appearance. Each treatment is planned based on the type, size, and depth of the scar to ensure the best possible cosmetic outcome.
At Elegance Clinic in Surat, Gujarat, we use advanced scar treatment options such as laser therapy, surgical scar revision, dermabrasion, and chemical peels. These treatments help in reducing raised, pigmented, or uneven scars and improve overall skin quality. The goal is to restore confidence by achieving clearer, more even-toned skin with safe and effective results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a scar be removed completely?
No. Scar revision can make a scar flatter, thinner, smoother and closer to the surrounding skin colour, but no treatment erases a scar completely. The goal is a scar that is much less noticeable.
When is the right time for scar revision?
Most surgeons wait until a scar has matured, which usually takes 12 to 18 months. By then redness has faded and the scar has settled. Earlier treatment may be advised for scars that restrict movement or keep growing.
What treatments are used for scar revision?
The choice depends on the scar type. Options include silicone gel or sheets, steroid injections for raised scars, laser resurfacing or microneedling for texture, fillers for sunken scars, and surgical techniques such as excision or Z-plasty for wide or tight scars.
Is scar revision painful?
Most procedures are done under local anaesthesia, so the area is numb during treatment. Mild soreness, swelling or tightness for a few days afterwards is common and is usually managed with regular pain relievers.
How long does recovery take after scar revision?
Non-surgical treatments usually need little downtime, with redness settling in a few days. After surgical revision, stitches are typically removed in 5 to 14 days. The new scar keeps improving for several months, so sun protection and scar care are important.
Can a keloid come back after treatment?
Yes. Keloids have a high chance of returning if they are only cut out. They are usually treated with a combination such as excision plus steroid injections, silicone, pressure or radiation, with regular follow-up to catch early regrowth.
