Scar Revision

A scar revision is a procedure done on a scar to alter the appearance of the scar. The revision may improve the cosmetic appearance of the scar, restore function to a part of the body that may have been restricted by the scar, or improve an itchy scar.

Scar revision is plastic surgery performed to improve the condition or appearance of a scar anywhere on your body.

Problems that may indicate a need for scar revision include: A keloid, which is an abnormal scar that is thicker and of a different color and texture than the rest of the skin. A scar that is at an angle to the normal tension lines of the skin. A scar that is thickened.
