Scar Revision Surgery in Udaipur
Scar Revision Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce and improve the appearance of scars, restoring both function and aesthetics. It can also correct deformities or tightness caused by previous injuries, burns, or surgeries. The goal is to make the scar blend more naturally with the surrounding skin in colour, tone, and texture.
At Star Hospital, Udaipur, scar revision procedures are performed by an experienced Board-Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon using advanced surgical and non-surgical techniques to deliver optimal results.
What Can Scar Revision Surgery Do?
-
Improve the appearance of unsightly or disfiguring scars.
-
Release painful or tight scar tissue.
-
Restore mobility where contractures have limited movement.
-
Enhance facial aesthetics and reduce emotional stress associated with visible scars.
Understanding Scars
Scars form as a part of the skin’s natural healing process after injury or surgery. Their appearance depends on multiple factors, including wound depth, location, genetics, age, and skin pigmentation. Some scars may heal smoothly, while others become raised, thick, or discoloured.
Depending on the type and severity of the scar, treatment may involve:
-
Topical treatments (creams, gels, or silicone sheets).
-
Minimally invasive procedures such as laser resurfacing or steroid injections.
-
Surgical scar revision using precision closure or flap techniques to reposition or refine the scar.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
At Star Hospital, Udaipur, advanced methods such as flap closure, Z-plasty, and tissue rearrangement are employed to make scars less visible and to improve flexibility where contracture has restricted movement. The procedure may be performed under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of correction required.
Common Conditions Requiring Scar Revision
-
Hypertrophic scars: Thick, raised scars confined to the wound area.
-
Keloids: Overgrown, elevated scars extending beyond the original wound boundaries.
-
Contracture scars: Scars that restrict movement, often following burns.
-
Discoloured or misaligned scars: Scars at an angle to natural skin tension lines.
-
Cosmetic concerns: Scars that affect self-confidence or facial harmony.
What to Expect After Surgery
Although no scar can be completely erased, its appearance can be significantly improved. The extent of improvement depends on factors such as the scar’s size, direction, location, and the individual’s age, skin type, and healing characteristics.
After the procedure, mild swelling or redness may occur, which subsides over time. Most patients notice progressive improvement over several weeks as the scar becomes flatter, smoother, and less noticeable.
