Some scars resulting from all kinds of injuries and accidents can leave a scar despite the treatment applied. Although these scars sometimes only cause aesthetic concerns, they can sometimes limit the person's functions or reduce the quality of life. This scar tissue is called scar tissues. These tissues, which have not completed the healing process sufficiently after the surgery or despite the completion of the treatment, can be treated by bringing them into a better form with plastic surgery interventions.

How are Scar Revision Operations Performed?

Scar Revision operations are generally performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The tissue in the scar area is cut out, the new tissue is stitched correctly and the operation is completed. The stitching is usually done subcutaneously, minimizing the scar. We can list the things you need to know about the treatment process as follows:  If there is a raised and irregular scar on the skin, a surgical method can be applied. The aim of the surgical method is to remove the scar from the body through an incision, thus leaving a much thinner and less puffy scar. Surgical intervention is preferred, especially for scars that are large and protruding from the skin. How does the process proceed after Scar Revision Operation? After the surgery, it is recommended to protect the surgical area from water contact and to avoid activities such as swimming and sunbathing for a certain period of time. The recovery process is initially expected to be 6 months. It is expected that after 6 months, the redness in the scar area will disappear completely, side effects such as itching will gradually decrease, and the scar will generally heal completely by the end of the first year. The healing process of wounds varies from person to person, depending on the body's reaction. The wound condition of the person who will undergo scar revision should be examined to ensure that the patient has completed the healing process completely before the revision operation, and the intervention should be performed under these conditions.
