About Scar Revision
Scar revision improves the appearance of scars from acne, injury, burns, or previous surgery. Our advanced techniques minimize scar visibility and create smoother, more aesthetically pleasing skin texture. We offer both surgical and non-surgical approaches tailored to your specific scar type.
Scar revision surgery improves the appearance of scars resulting from injury, previous surgery, or skin conditions. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons use a range of techniques including surgical excision, Z-plasty, W-plasty, tissue expansion, laser treatment, and injectable therapies to minimize scar visibility and improve skin texture.
While no scar can be completely erased, scar revision can significantly improve the color, texture, width, and overall appearance of a scar, making it less conspicuous and blending it better with surrounding skin.
Scar Revision Techniques
- Surgical Excision: Removing the scar and closing with precise suturing techniques.
- Z-Plasty & W-Plasty: Redirecting scar tissue to align with natural skin lines.
- Laser Scar Treatment: Fractional CO2 and erbium lasers for surface-level improvement.
- Steroid Injections: Reducing keloid and hypertrophic scars with corticosteroid therapy.
- Dermabrasion: Mechanical resurfacing for smoother skin texture.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Scar revision may benefit you if you:
- Have a wide, raised, or depressed scar that is cosmetically bothersome
- Have a contracture scar that limits movement
- Have hypertrophic or keloid scars
- Have scars that are conspicuously different in color from surrounding skin
- Have waited at least 12-18 months since the original wound for the scar to mature
- Have realistic expectations about improvement (not complete removal)
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery depends on the type of scar revision performed:
- Surgical Revision: Sutures removed at 5-7 days. Scar care regimen begins immediately. Activity restrictions for 2-4 weeks.
- Laser Treatment: Redness for 3-7 days. Resume activities in 1-2 days.
- Injectable Treatment: Minimal downtime. May require multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
- All Methods: Strict sun protection essential during healing. Silicone sheets or gel applied as directed.
- Final Results: Scar improvement continues for 6-18 months as the tissue matures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can scars be completely removed?
No scar can be completely erased, but scar revision can significantly improve the appearance, making the scar much less conspicuous. The goal is to make the scar blend as naturally as possible with surrounding skin.
When should I have scar revision?
It is best to wait 12-18 months after the initial injury or surgery, allowing the scar to fully mature. Premature revision may not achieve optimal results.
What is the difference between hypertrophic and keloid scars?
Hypertrophic scars stay within the boundaries of the original wound and may improve over time. Keloid scars grow beyond the original wound boundaries and typically require more aggressive treatment including steroid injections.
