Scar Revision

Is there a scar on your body that you would prefer not to have? Does the scar cause you pain? Would you prefer to make it less visible? Is there any restriction of movement because of the scar?
If yes, then a scar revision or a scar removal surgery may be the right procedure for you.

Scar revision can involve surgical and non-surgical treatments or a combination of the two. Scars can be wide, have train tracks, be raised, or discoloured. Depending on where they are located, they might cause functional issues too.

Among the non-surgical treatments, there are steroid injections, silicone therapy, massages and lasers. In contrast, surgical treatment involves excision, which can also be combined with non-surgical treatments.
