Scar Revision

Are you bothered by an unsightly scar? Are you prone to hypertrophic or reactive/keloid scars?

There are many options to help fade or improve the quality, appearance and texture of scars. While there are non-surgical options to improve the appearance of scars, scar revision typically refers to surgical procedures whereby the scar is excised or removed in one sitting or through a series of procedures. Scar revisions are typically performed in-office under local anesthesia.

What can I expect before and after scar revision?

Before:

  • Thorough consultation with Drs. Pham or Goodrich, with medical grade photography with discussion of all options
  • Avoid NSAIDs/blood thinning medications/supplements 2 weeks pre-operatively

After:

  • Typically, there will be sutures that need to be removed 7-10 days post procedure
  • Depending on location, compressive or magnet dressings may need to be worn to prevent recurrence
  • Avoiding sun exposure and using Silicone sheeting will improve the long-term results
