Scar Revision is highly customised based on the type, size, and location of the scar. For raised scars like hypertrophic and keloid tissue, the revision often involves surgically excising the old tissue followed by a meticulous, multi-layered closure to minimise tension.

For wide or restrictive scars, techniques such as Z-plasty or W-plasty are employed. These techniques involve creating small triangular flaps to change the scar's direction, aligning it with the skin's natural tension lines (Langer's lines) to make it less noticeable.

In cases of depressed or 'pitted' scars, we may combine excision with fat grafting or dermal fillers to restore volume. The primary goal is to exchange a high-visibility or restrictive scar for one that is thinner, flatter, and blends harmoniously with the surrounding skin.

The benefits of this procedure include:

• Makes wide or depressed scars significantly less conspicuous.
• Releases tight scar tissue (contractures) that restricts movement.
• Flattens and softens abnormally raised hypertrophic and keloid scars.
• Alleviates physical symptoms like itching, tenderness, or pain.
• Realigns scars with natural skin folds for better camouflage.
