Surgical Scar Revision You Can Trust: Before & Afters at the Scar Healing Institute

Preparation for scar or lesion excision begins with a consultation, where the surgeon assesses the area to determine the best approach for removal, often mapping the region or considering skin tension lines to minimize scarring. Local anesthesia is typically used, though general anesthesia may be necessary for larger or more complex cases. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully excises the targeted tissue using a scalpel, ensuring precision along predetermined lines. In cases like skin cancer, a margin of healthy tissue is removed to ensure complete excision. Afterward, deep sutures support the underlying tissue, while surface sutures align the wound edges. For optimal aesthetic results, advanced techniques like Z-plasty or W-plasty may be used to reduce tension and realign the scar, and skin grafts may be applied to improve the cosmetic outcome.

What Types of Surgical Scars Can We Remove At The Scar Healing Institute?

Surgical revision is effective for treating various medical and cosmetic conditions, including:

  • Raised and Keloid Scars: Resistant to creams or lasers, excision is often the best option, especially with follow-up treatments to prevent recurrence.
  • Contracture Scars: Often from burns, these scars restrict movement, and excision, combined with techniques like Z-plasty, can restore mobility.
  • Acne Scars: Severe acne can leave persistent scars, and excision helps achieve smoother skin and improved confidence.
  • Skin Lesions: Benign, precancerous, and malignant lesions, including moles and skin cancers, can be effectively removed through excision.

Surgical revision is a valuable procedure for improving both the appearance and function of scarred skin, leading to better aesthetic results and enhanced quality of life.
