Scar Revision Surgery in New Jersey
What is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a surgical procedure that can help improve the appearance of an undesired scar. It can be used to reduce the size, shape, color and texture of a scar or relieve some associated discomfort. Scar revision surgery helps reduce the visibility of a scar so it blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture more naturally. The most common types of scars that may be improved through scar revision are hypertrophic scars, keloid scars and contracture scars.
Despite the potential of surgical scar revision to reduce the visibility of scars, it is important to note that complete elimination of a scar is not always possible. However, with appropriate preoperative instructions, careful postoperative care, and patience, scar revision can be a very effective way to improve the cosmetic appearance of your skin.
Furthermore, it is always beneficial to have realistic expectations when considering any form of medical treatment. With that being said, if you are looking for a way to reduce the visibility of your scars, scar revision might be worth exploring further.
Scar Revision Surgery
Scar revision surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis and is tailored to the needs of each individual patient. Surgery may involve removing the scarred tissue, stretching healthy skin over the area with sutures or grafting skin from another part of the body. The goal of surgery is not only to improve the appearance of a scar but also minimize discomfort associated with it such as itching, tenderness and tightness.
Recovery From Scar Removal
Patients should expect some pain and discomfort after scar revision surgery. Swelling and bruising are also common and may last a few weeks. Patients should protect the area from sun exposure for several months after surgery to ensure optimal results.

Scar Revision FAQ’s
Yes, scar revision surgery can help reduce the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery or skin conditions. Scar revision techniques vary depending on the type of scar and its location.
It is best to consider scar revision when the scar has healed completely and the final results are fully visible. Depending on the location of the scar and its type, there may be some limitations as to when it can be safely treated. For example, scars that are located in places where movement occurs may need some time to stabilize before they can be revised. It is also recommended to wait at least one year from the date of initial injury or surgery in order to avoid complications related to wound healing.
