Introduction

Improving Scarring Appearance with Elite Plastic Surgery

Scar revision is an art form and requires the skill and artistry of experienced, precision-minded plastic surgeons, such as Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi in Phoenix and Chandler, AZ. It is a multifaceted procedure that can entail topical, energy-based, and surgical treatment options. The purpose of scar revision is to improve a scar’s texture, appearance, and location, and, if appropriate, restore function in the area.

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.

Our plastic surgeons, Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar 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

During a private consultation at our offices in Phoenix or Chandler, AZ, we can assess your scar and recommend treatment options. With many years of experience in scar care, Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi can help you find a path to better skin without visible scars. Individual results may vary. Call our office today to see if scar revision is the right choice for you.

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 contractures, usually caused by burns, tighten the skin and restrict movement.

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

Scar revision in Phoenix and Chandler provides an array of compelling benefits, including the following:

  • Minimizes scar color, allowing the scar to blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin hues
  • Reduces the size and thickness of the scar
  • Improves the scar’s texture and comfort
  • Enhances function and range of motion
  • Elevates quality of life and self-confidence

What Happens During the Procedure?

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.

What to Expect During Your Consultation for Scar Revision

During your preliminary consultation with Dr. Radbeh, Dr. Rozbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi in Phoenix or Chandler, you will discuss your goals for improvement, receive detailed answers to your questions, and learn about the risks, recovery time, costs, and potential outcomes associated with scar revision. The doctors will complete a medical and physical evaluation and use the results to develop a customized treatment plan to restore your appearance and quality of life. The next step is to book your appointment. Before your procedure, you will receive preparation guidelines to ensure a smooth, seamless treatment experience.

Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Scar Revision Care

The details of your recovery will depend on the treatment method chosen by Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi, as well as the location and severity of your scar. Non-surgical treatments typically require minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal schedules quickly. Side effects may include mild redness, swelling, or soreness, with symptoms typically resolving within the first week of healing.

If you undergo surgical scar revision, you can expect a few weeks of downtime, with gradual improvements in the scar’s size, color, and thickness. Our team at Elite Plastic Surgery in Phoenix and Chandler will provide an individualized aftercare plan that includes guidance on wound care, exercise restrictions, and the use of ointments and moisturizers. Make sure to attend all scheduled follow-up sessions with the doctors.
