Healthy-Looking Skin with Scar Revision
Get rid of the unwelcome marks. While scarring is the body’s way of healing and replacing damaged or lost skin, their appearance can make you feel less-than.
A scar revision is done to alter the appearance of a scar. Although usually thought of as merely cosmetic, it can also restore function to a part of the body or improve itchy tissue.
Although there are several over-the-counter creams to reduce scars, Dr. Fodero’s professional and personalized approach has proven to produce more pronounced and lasting results that will have your skin feeling brand new.
Why Scar Revision?
Depending on the location of the scar, we might suffer different degrees of anxiety and even certain impairments. Scar revision treatments provide several benefits, including:
- Increased self-confidence
- A return to the skin’s natural beauty
- Reduced itchiness
- Prevention of future expansion
- Enhanced skin texture and tone
- And the prevention of future complications
Begin your journey to a better skin with a consultation at Northeastern Plastic Surgery in Florham Park, NJ. Our professional and dedicated team, led by Dr. Fodero, will assess your scar and the surrounding skin region and help you decide on the best way to move forward.
Considerations
Scar Revision Candidates
Anybody who has had scarring as a result of injuries or acne is a good candidate. Scars can manifest in different forms, such as deep pits, keloids (bumpy texture), hypertrophic, or contractures. The specific treatment that you’ll get will depend on the type of scar, which our qualified professional staff can assess.
Recovery
While it’s tempting to book a consultation immediately after the scar has formed, we suggest waiting at least three months. During this period, the wound can heal fully and Dr. Fodero can have a more informed picture of the condition. In cases where the patient has lost significant skin, additional procedures like grafting may be in order.
The recovery phase after the procedure usually lasts a couple of days. There might be stitches and suturing which require follow-up at our offices. Happily, most patients find that they can return to their everyday activities shortly after their procedure.
