Scar Revision Surgery

Scar revision surgery is a procedure that improves the appearance of scars, helping them blend more naturally with the surrounding skin. Scars can develop following injury, surgery, acne, or skin conditions, and may appear raised, sunken, wide, or discoloured. While no scar can be completely removed, scar revision techniques can significantly reduce their visibility and restore confidence.

Depending on the type and location of the scar, treatment may involve surgical excision, reorientation, or resurfacing, sometimes combined with advanced energy-based devices, regenerative therapies, or medical-grade skincare for optimal results.

Your journey begins with a consultation, where we assess your scar, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

• Each plan is fully bespoke and may involve a single procedure or a combination of surgical and non-surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcome.
• The procedure itself is usually performed under local anaesthetic, though sedation can be provided if required. Surgical techniques may include carefully excising and re-closing the scar, repositioning it into natural skin lines, or smoothing its surface. Where suitable, adjunctive therapies such as laser, microneedling, or regenerative treatments may be incorporated to enhance results.
• Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Swelling and redness gradually improve, and the scar will continue to refine and fade over several months.
• Our team provides full aftercare guidance, including scar management strategies such as silicone dressings, sun protection, and topical therapies, to optimise long-term healing.
