Scars can affect anyone at any age, and are the result of damaged or torn skin. Scar revision is a surgical procedure aimed at minimising the appearance of scars, improving their texture, colour or size. This procedure is often performed to enhance aesthetics or alleviate functional issues caused by scarring.<\/p>\n
The process begins with a comprehensive assessment by Mr Waseem Bhat<\/a> to determine the most suitable approach. Surgical techniques vary based on the scar type and location. For raised or hypertrophic scars, surgical excision involves removing the scar tissue and repositioning the skin to minimise visibility. Dermabrasion or laser therapy may be used to refine surface irregularities, and reduce scar prominence. Additionally, scar revision can involve the use of tissue rearrangement techniques or grafting to optimise scar blending with surrounding skin.<\/p>\n Post-surgery, you\u2019re likely to experience mild discomfort, swelling and redness in the treated area. Pain medication helps manage discomfort, and keeping the area clean and protected aids in proper healing. You\u2019ll also be advised to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the scar from UV rays, which will help in minimising potential discolouration.<\/p>\n Regular follow-ups with Mr Bhat will monitor your rate of healing and address any concerns. Adhering to postoperative instructions, including scar care techniques provided by Mr Bhat<\/a> and his team, such as massage or silicone sheets, is crucial. Scar revision aims to improve scar appearance, but complete eradication isn’t always possible. Choosing an experienced surgeon such as Mr Bhat, and following aftercare diligently contribute to optimal outcomes, reducing scarring and enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3246,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3039","treatment","type-treatment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
