Scar revision or Scar removal is a procedure that aims to reduce the appearance of the scars. 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.
💬 Examples of scars most commonly treated include:
* Hypertrophic: scars within the boundaries of the incision or wound and are generally thick, red, and raised in appearance
* Keloid: somewhat similar in appearance to hypertrophic scars, often found on the earlobe, shoulder, and breastbone and appear most commonly in dark-skinned individuals
* Contracture: the most severe forms of a scar and usually occur as a result of a loss of a large area of skin, are most commonly found in patients that have experienced burn injuries and can cause edge of skin to pull together, affecting the muscles and tendons and causing constricted movement
