What is the Procedure?

Surgery to revise a scar is done when the patient is asleep with general anesthesia. The time of surgery varies in the individual case. Surgical Scar Revision in Dubai & Abu Dhabi consists of various procedures which can be implemented alone or in combination. Procedures selection varies depending upon the type of scar to be treated. Three types of scar revision include:

Z or W Plasty:

This surgical technique is preferred for more serious scars. The surgeon cuts the scar along with the Z- or W-shaped incisions creates angled flaps, repositions the scars, and changes their direction, making them less visible.

Skin Grafts and Flaps:

Skin grafting relocates the damaged scar tissue with the healthy one. While skin flapping is quite similar to a skin graft, it uses a portion of the skin to support an effective blood supply.

Tissue Expansion:

It typically allows the body to build up excess skin over the scarred area. An inflatable balloon is placed under the skin near the scar, which stretches the skin to expand. Surgeons might use additional skin tissue for the procedure.

After Procedure:

It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes before you wake up from general anesthesia. Once you come to your senses, there will be a headache and nausea. Postoperative pain is also observed, but medications are prescribed on-spot to eliminate it.

  • Keep the wound clean and properly bandaged.
  • Carefully follow post-instructions to elude infections.

Suitable Time for Revision:

As the scars shrink and become less visible with age, immediate surgery is delayed until the scar heals and takes its final shape. Surgeons usually wait 1-2 years after the injury for the wound to heal completely. Revision of scars too early can lead to poor results.
