IS SCAR REVISION / KELOID SCARS REMOVAL RIGHT FOR YOU?

Why Scar Revision?

There’s no shortage of factors that can lead to unwanted scarring: surgical procedures, injuries, burns, acne, or genetic predisposition to keloid formation. Even with proper wound care and healing, certain scars remain visible, raised, or discolored. No amount of topical creams or home remedies can adequately address significant scarring that affects your appearance and confidence.

Love Your Skin. Love Your Reflection.

Scars are a natural part of the healing process, but they don’t have to be permanent reminders that affect your self-esteem. Scar Revision and Keloid Removal can empower you to feel comfortable in your skin while achieving a smoother, more refined appearance that reflects your true self.

Scar Revision Surgery Ideal Candidates

Scars can develop from various causes including previous surgeries, injuries, burns, acne, or a genetic tendency toward keloid formation. These unwanted marks can range from barely noticeable to significantly raised, discolored, or textured.

You may be a great candidate for this procedure if you have noticeable scarring that bothers you, raised or keloid scars, depressed or indented scars, or discolored scar tissue. While some scars fade naturally over time, others persist or even worsen, especially keloids that grow beyond the original wound boundaries. If you’re looking to minimize or eliminate visible scarring, then Scar Revision is for you.

Scar Revision is designed for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of unwanted scars, whether from surgery, injury, or skin conditions. Candidates should be in good overall health, with realistic expectations about improvement. The scar should be fully mature (typically at least one year old) for optimal results.

Scar Revision / Keloid Removal may be an ideal procedure for you if:

You have visible scars from previous surgeries or injuries.
Your scars are raised, thick, or keloid in nature.
You have depressed or indented scars (from acne scars).
Your scars are discolored or contrast significantly with surrounding skin.
Scarring affects your confidence or quality of life.
You want to improve wound healing.
You want a healthy skin.

SCAR REVISION / KELOID REMOVAL TREATMENT OPTIONS

Just as no two scars are the same, no two Scar Revision procedures are identical.

Dr. Richland spends time carefully evaluating your scarring and listening to your concerns to ensure your treatment plan is uniquely tailored to your scar type, skin characteristics, and desired outcome. The right scar revision treatment may be a combination of techniques:

Surgical Excision - Complete removal of scar tissue with meticulous closure techniques
Keloid Treatment - Specialized removal with prevention strategies to minimize recurrence
Laser Therapy - Advanced laser technology to fade, flatten, and improve scar texture
Steroid Injections - Targeted corticosteroid injections injections to reduce raised and hypertrophic scars
Dermabrasion - Precision skin resurfacing to smooth scar surfaces
Fat Grafting - Volume restoration for depressed or indented scars
Z-plasty or W-plasty - Surgical techniques to reorient scar direction for better camouflage

SCAR REVISION RECOVERY

Following your treatment, your healing process will depend on the specific techniques used in your customized procedure.

Recovery varies based on the treatment approach. For surgical scar revision, you can expect initial healing within 1-2 weeks, with the new scar continuing to mature and fade over 12-18 months. Laser treatments typically require minimal downtime, with redness subsiding within days. Steroid injections have virtually no downtime. Dr. Richland will provide detailed aftercare instructions including sun protection, wound care, and activity restrictions. Most patients can return to work within several days to a week, depending on the extent of treatment. By following post-procedure guidelines carefully, you can optimize your results and minimize the risk of new scar formation.

Scar Revision FAQs

What is Scar Revision?

Scar Revision is a range of techniques designed to minimize the appearance of unwanted scars, making them less noticeable and more consistent with surrounding skin tone and texture. The goal is not to eliminate scars completely (which is impossible), but to improve their appearance significantly so they blend more naturally with your skin.

What is the difference between a scar and a keloid?

A regular scar stays within the boundaries of the original wound and typically fades over time. A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that extends beyond the original wound boundaries, appearing raised, thick, and often darker than surrounding skin. Keloids can continue growing over time and require specialized treatment to prevent recurrence.

How long will Scar Revision results last?

For most patients, Scar Revision results are long-lasting and permanent, with significant improvement maintained for many years. However, it’s important to understand that while we can dramatically improve scar appearance, we cannot return skin to its pre-injury state. With proper sun protection and skin care, your results should remain stable. Keloids have a higher recurrence rate and may require maintenance treatments.

Can scars come back after revision?

With proper surgical technique and post-operative care, most revised scars heal much better than the original scar. However, keloids have a tendency to recur, which is why Dr. Richland may recommend combination treatments including steroid injections, pressure therapy, or radiation therapy to minimize recurrence risk. Following all post-operative instructions carefully significantly reduces the chance of problematic scarring.
