Scar revision surgery helps improve the look of scars caused by injuries, burns, surgeries, or acne. The goal is to make the scar blend naturally with the surrounding skin, restoring both appearance and confidence.
At Medicover Hospitals, scar revision is done by trained plastic and reconstructive surgeons. They use modern techniques like laser therapy, dermabrasion, and surgical correction to achieve smoother, more natural-looking skin.
What is Scar Revision Surgery?
Scar revision surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the visibility of scars and improve skin texture. It cannot completely remove a scar, but it makes it much less noticeable and more even-toned with nearby skin.
The treatment plan depends on the scar type - its color, size, and thickness. Common options include surgical excision, laser resurfacing, steroid injections, or a mix of these techniques.
