A scar is the result of the natural healing process of the body after an injury, surgery, or other trauma that damages the skin’s deeper layers. It is a mark left on the skin that may look different from the surrounding skin tissue.
What is scar correction surgery?
Scar correction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of a scar by minimizing its visibility, size, and texture.
What are the types of scars that can be corrected?
Any type of scar can be corrected, including keloids, hypertrophic scars, and atrophic scars. The treatment depends on the type and severity of the scar.
How is scar correction surgery performed?
Scar correction surgery is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the extent of the surgery. The surgeon may use a variety of techniques, including surgical removal of the scar, dermabrasion, laser therapy, and tissue expansion, to improve the scar’s appearance.
