What Is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a personalized procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars by blending them more naturally with the surrounding skin. While it’s not possible to completely remove a scar, scar revision surgery can reduce its size, soften its texture, and improve color and contour.
The best course of treatment will depend on:
The severity of the scar
Its location on the body, neck, or face
Your medical history and overall health
Your skin type and healing response
Although scars are a natural part of the healing process, some scars heal in ways that make them more visible. Discoloration, thickened scar tissue, or facial scarring can affect both your appearance and your emotional well-being.
Types of Scar Revision Treatments
At Ferguson Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we offer multiple scar revision treatments to address different scar types and skin textures. Most patients benefit from a combination of techniques to achieve the best possible outcome.
Surgical Excision
Surgical excision is ideal for thick, raised, or tight scar tissue. During this procedure, the scar is removed with a precise incision, and the area is carefully closed to minimize future scarring. This method is commonly used after skin cancer resection or when contracture scars limit movement.
Subcision
Subcision is used to treat depressed scars. A small needle is inserted under the skin to release fibrous bands tethering the scar tissue, allowing the surrounding skin to lift and create a smoother contour.
Punch Elevation
For acne scars and small indentations, punch elevation lifts the base of the scar using a specialized tool. This creates a more even surface with the surrounding skin.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing, remove damaged layers of skin, stimulate collagen production, and gradually improve the appearance of facial scarring and surface irregularities. This method is excellent for discoloration, fine lines, and mild scars.
Dermal Fillers
For scars that are sunken or indented, dermal fillers can restore volume beneath the skin, helping to create smooth skin. Though not permanent, fillers provide an effective cosmetic procedure with minimal downtime.
Surface Treatments
Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and other surface-level treatments can help fade discoloration and refine texture by gently removing the upper layer of skin. Multiple sessions may be required for noticeable improvement.
