Scar Revision
Using advanced techniques and expert precision, we can significantly improve the size, shape and appearance of scars.
OVERVIEW
Scar revision is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery or other skin trauma. This surgery can reduce the appearance of a wide range of different scars, including hypertrophic scars, keloids and contractures. The goal is to create a smoother, more uniform skin texture.
Each treatment plan is personalised to meet the patient’s specific needs and desired outcomes.

Your journey begins with a consultation where your surgeon will assess the scar, discuss your concerns and outline your aesthetic goals. They will recommend the most suitable treatment options based on the scar type, size and location.
Preparation
You’ll receive specific pre-operative instructions, including guidelines on medications, dietary restrictions and any necessary medical evaluations to ensure you are ready for the procedure.
