Scar revision
Sometimes scars from previous surgeries and injuries do not heal as well as one may expect. In these situations there are different treatments that a plastic surgeon can use to optimise the scar appearance. Scars often fall into different types including hypertrophic, keloid and atrophic scars.
Treatments include:
- Topical treatments including scar massage and silicone therapy
- Compression
- Steroid injections
- Excision
Mr Molajo will discuss the different options and risk and benefits with you as different modalities may be necessary to improve the scar appearance.
Scar revision is available at our Bolton, Blackburn and West Yorkshire locations.
