Overview:
Visible scars—whether from injuries, surgery, burns, or acne—can cause emotional and physical discomfort. Scar Revision Surgery helps improve the appearance of scars, making them blend better with the surrounding skin. At Dr. Vikas Choudhary’s plastic surgery clinic in Udaipur, we offer both surgical and non-surgical techniques tailored to each type of scar.
Who is it for?
- Individuals with prominent surgical, traumatic, or burn scars
- People with hypertrophic or keloid scars
- Anyone seeking to reduce the visibility of facial or body scars for aesthetic or functional reasons
Goals of Scar Revision:
- Improve the appearance of thick, wide, or uneven scars
- Restore confidence and self-esteem
- Reduce tightness or functional limitations caused by contractures
How it’s done:
Depending on the scar type, location, and severity, Dr. Choudhary may perform one or more of the following:
- Excisional Scar Revision: Removes and re-closures the scar with fine suturing
- Z-plasty/W-plasty Techniques: Reorients or lengthens contracted scars
- Laser Therapy: For color and texture improvement
- Steroid Injections: For raised or keloid scars
- Dermabrasion or Microneedling: Smoothens irregular surface
