Understanding Scar Revision

Scar revision improves the appearance of scars — making them less visible and better blended with the surrounding skin.

Causes

Scars form as the body heals wounds from surgery, injury, burns, or acne, and their final appearance depends on the wound, skin type, genetics, and healing process. Some scars become raised, widened, discoloured, or restrictive.

Symptoms

Bothersome scars may be raised, sunken, discoloured, or tight, and can cause itching, tenderness, or limited movement when they cross a joint. Beyond the physical effects, visible scars often cause self-consciousness.

Diagnosis

Dr. Sunil Rathor examines the scar’s type, size, depth, and location, and assesses your skin’s healing tendencies. This determines the best approach — from minor surgical revision to resurfacing or combined treatments — for a smoother, less noticeable result.
