Scar Revision Surgery – Rediscover Smoother, Clearer Skin
Scars tell stories of healing, survival, or a moment in time. But when a scar becomes a source of insecurity, it can affect your confidence and self-esteem.
Scar revision surgery offers a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of scars, helping your skin look even and feel more like itself.

Scar revision surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of scars, making them less visible or more consistent with the surrounding skin tone and texture. Whether caused by injury, surgery, burns, or acne, scars can be revised through various surgical and non-surgical techniques depending on their type, size, and location.
Scar revision doesn't erase a scar entirely, but it can significantly minimise its appearance, improving skin aesthetics and restoring your confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can all scars be treated with scar revision surgery?
Most types of scars—keloid, hypertrophic, acne, or surgical—can be improved with revision, though some may respond better to non-surgical options.
Will the scar completely disappear?
No procedure can erase a scar completely, but scar revision significantly reduces its size, colour, and texture irregularities.
Is scar revision painful?
The procedure is usually performed under anaesthesia, making it virtually painless. Mild discomfort post-surgery is managed with medication.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within a few days, though complete recovery varies depending on the procedure and location.
Are there risks involved?
As with any plastic surgery, minor risks like infection, swelling, or pigment changes exist. These are rare and minimized with expert care.
