Scars Revision

As a very common skin tissue, scars on the face can make you feel frustrated or even extremely self-conscious. In some cases, a scar is a reminder of a wound that once existed or another condition that caused a disruption to the skin’s surface.

A scar revision is a procedure done on a scar to alter the appearance of the scar. The revision may improve the cosmetic appearance of the scar, restore function to a part of the body that may have been restricted by the scar, or improve an itchy scar. It is important to remember that scars cannot be completely removed.

Candidates for Scar Revision Surgery

Adults or children who have a scar that is bothersome, unsightly, or causes selfconsciousness and insecurity may be good candidates for Platinum Scar Revision Treatment. It is important for Platinum patients who get this procedure to be aware that while this treatment does improve the appearance of the scar and reduces the size, it will not make it fully disappear. The type of surgery selected will be contingent on where your scar is located, the type of scar it is, and its size, depth, and shape.
