Common Questions & Answers about Scar Revision / Scar Repair
"I'm also wondering how the scars would be repairable. Would this mean skin graphting?? My scars are quite wide and have a brownish color to them. I'm also scared to be cut again because I don't want to end up with an infection again, would that happen? Is there any guarantee that the scars would be unnoticable? Or am I taking a chance again? Thank-you for your help, it's greatly appreciated.. Jody Bryan "

Scar Revision Basics
Advertisement
Any scar tissue that you have is affected by several factors including the nature and severity of the injury, the thickness and colour of your skin, and how you were treated medically. Even the direction of your scar will make a difference. While a plastic surgeon can improve the appearance of a scar, it's unlikely that it can be removed completely.
How it's done
Your surgeon has an arsenal of techniques available to make your scar look less obvious - everything from collagen or steroid injections to laser resurfacing and skin grafts.
Recovery
Depending on the technique used: 2 days to several months.
Complications
Some risks include the potential of making the scar worse, bleeding and infection.
Cost
$500 to $3,000.
