Scar revision
Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. By choosing to see a Plastic Surgeon, your aesthetic outcome is paramount and scars are kept to a minimum. Scars are the unavoidable results of injury or surgery, and their development can be unpredictable. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring therefore post-operative care and infection avoidance are priority. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that affects your appearance. Scars may be noticeable due to their size, shape or location; they can also be raised or depressed, and may differ in colour or texture from the surrounding healthy tissue.
For some, scars are not acceptable and can be distressing – usually those resulting from an accident. Scar revision surgery will attempt to minimize a scar so that it is less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture. There are several treatment options:
Simple topical treatments
Minimally invasive procedures
Surgical revision with advanced techniques in wound closure
Some scar revision surgery may be funded by ACC. The type of scar you have will determine the appropriate techniques Mr Yang will use.
