Am I a good candidate for Scar Revision?
Ideal scar revision candidates are healthy men and women who desire improvements in the following:
- Hypopigmented scars
- Depressed scars
- Scars crossing facial units
Preparing for your procedure
You should stop any medication or supplements that are not essential for 10-14 days prior to your scar revision treatment to decrease the risk of bleeding complications. Please refer to your list of medications to avoid and always check with your doctor prior to stopping medications.
Our technique
Scar revision may involve several stages. The primary stage includes excision of the old scar and reorienting the scar to be less noticeable. Our doctors will close the incision in multiple layers to ensure it heals with as fine of a line as possible. If a second stage is necessary, this may involve laser resurfacing to smooth out any transitions and pigmentation differences.
