Scar Revision – Helping You To Heal

Whether they came from past incidents, skin conditions, or surgeries, some scars just won’t heal and can be painful reminders. Scars can also keep you from looking your best and feeling confident in your own skin. If you have a scar that is preventing you from having a positive self-image, scar revision at Longwood Plastic Surgery may be right for you.

How Does A Scar Revision Work?

There are several treatments available at Longwood Plastic Surgery to help improve the appearance of old scars. The ideal treatment is largely dependent on the size of the scar, the location, and the depth of the skin damage. Some smaller scars can be revised under local anesthesia while larger scars may require a full anesthetic. The results of procedures are long-lasting, noticeable and healthy.

Am I a Good Candidate for Scar Revision?

As we know, every scar is different. At Longwood Plastic Surgery, we want to help you look your best and reverse the damage done to your skin. To make sure you get matched with the treatment that is right for you, consult a member of our board-certified, experienced team.

FAQ’s

Your scar will fade over time, with the initial results being noticeable in as little as one week. Though you will have an improved scar and improved contours all scars are a life-long condition.

Recovery depends largely on the intensity of the treatment– after all, everyone heals differently. For more in-depth scar-removal procedures, recovery time may take up to 1-2 weeks. For less intensive treatments, you may be free to resume life immediately after a single office visit.
