0121 456 7930Every cut or injury to the skin leaves a mark. Scars vary, and factors like skin type and location influence their appearance. While faces and necks generally form inconspicuous scars, areas like the chest may develop hypertrophic scars or keloids, especially in individuals with darker skin.
Distinguish between hypertrophic scars, resolving over time, and keloids, aggressive scars that grow beyond the wound.
Scar revision is usually done under local anaesthesia when it is felt that a scar can be improved because of particular circumstances or complications of healing in the first instance, or because the procedure is likely to be carried out in a better manner.
The old scar is removed by one of several plastic surgery techniques and is repaired. Post operative pain is usually minimal. Sutures are usually removed in 4 to 6 days from the face and 7 to 10 days from other parts of the body.
However, dissolving sutures are frequently used on the trunk and limbs to avoid stitch marks. Stitch marks are much less likely to appear on the face as the stitches are removed early. All new scars will initially be red. Fading occurs within 6 to 24 months depending on the scar's location and the patient's skin type.

After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the site of the scar revision. Most people are able to return to their normal activities 1-4 weeks after the procedure, but your doctor will provide you with specific post-procedure instructions.
