Introduction

Reduce the Appearance of Scarring with Scar Revision

At Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Chandler, AZ, we utilize today’s most advanced technologies to enhance your appearance and help you achieve the revitalized, refreshed look you desire. Our customized scar revision treatments diminish the appearance of old scars, improving their color, size, texture, and location. By enhancing both form and function, we elevate your quality of life and restore a positive self-image.

What is Scar Revision?

Living with a constant reminder of past surgery, accident, or trauma to your skin in the form of a scar can take its toll on your self-esteem and self-image. At Elite Plastic Surgery, we know that improving the appearance of a scar can change a person’s life, especially if the scar is visible to everyone.

Our plastic surgeons, Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi, can drastically improve the appearance of your scars and stretch marks with scar revision surgery. Scar revision surgery can:

  • Reduce the size and/or length of the scar to make it less noticeable
  • Change the texture of the skin at the site of the scar
  • Rejuvenate the skin and contour it to cover irregularities and tissue distortions
  • Hide scars behind natural creases or folds, or turn them into a fine line

Types of Scars

Because scar revision procedures address different types of scars, it is important to identify the specific type to treat it effectively.

Atrophic Scars

Atrophic scars take on a sunken look and are usually caused by surgery, acne, trauma, or chicken pox.

Keloid Scars

Keloid scars result from excessive cell production after a skin injury. They are raised and thick, have a red-purple color, and extend beyond the original wound. They can be itchy or painful.

Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised and red in color but don’t expand beyond the wound area. They can, however, restrict movement.

Scar Contractures

Scar contracture typically results from burns and causes the skin to shrink, leading to tightness and restricted movement.

Types of Treatment

Depending on the type, size, location, and appearance of a patient’s scar, a plastic surgeon can employ several procedures. For surface scars, we may prescribe the use of topical ointments, tapes, or external compression to improve discoloration. With shave excision, a surgical shaver is used to remove the upper portion of the scar, leaving a more even surface.

Sunken or depressed scars can be injected with various substances to improve their texture and overall appearance. Dermabrasion, light therapy, and chemical peels can also be deployed to improve the appearance of scars. Various other procedures can be performed to help minimize the appearance of scars. For scars that require a more invasive approach, plastic surgery may be required.

Am I a Good Candidate for Scar Revision?

We recommend consulting a skilled plastic surgeon when your scars are apparent, even after the wound has healed and you have exhausted all noninvasive measures (such as massage or gel therapy). Your plastic surgeon may suggest scar revision surgery after considering a number of factors, such as:

  • The health of the patient (you need to be in overall good health)
  • The maturity of your scars
  • The alignment, distortion, and pigmentation of your scars
  • Scar or stretch mark location and orientation
  • The healing ability of a patient (patients should have a hassle-free recovery from the previous surgery)

Benefits of Scar Revision

Our individualized scar revision procedures at Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Phoenix, or Chandler, AZ, provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Improves scar color, allowing the scar to blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin
  • Reduces the size of the scar
  • Combats skin stiffness and enhances scar texture

  • Flattens the scar
