What Is Scar Revision Surgery?
Scars can develop anywhere on the body, often as a result of injury, surgery, or skin conditions like acne. While some scars gradually fade, others may remain large, raised, recessed, or discolored, making them more noticeable. At MCS Dermatology in Elk Grove Village, IL, Dr. Cynthia Abban provides advanced scar treatment, including surgical scar revision, to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of scars. Whether treating surgical scars, injury scars, or acne scars, Dr. Abban helps patients achieve smoother, more natural-looking skin. Many individuals from nearby areas like Hoffman Estates, Glenview, and Itasca visit our office for personalized scar treatment solutions.
How Is Scar Revision Performed?
Surgical scar treatment is performed at MCS Dermatology with the approach depending on the scar's size, type, and location. Dr. Abban may use local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. Raised or bumpy scars can be treated with a shave excision to smooth out the skin while larger or more prominent scars may require an elliptical incision to remove excess tissue and reshape the area. In some cases, surgical scar revision may involve a skin graft or tissue expansion to replace damaged skin with healthier, smoother skin. For acne scars or scars with irregular texture, noninvasive laser treatments or filler injections may be recommended to create a more even appearance without surgery.
