Surgical scar revision. Remove and refashion a scar.
The scar is surgically removed and closed again so a smaller, more discreet scar remains.
The scar tissue is removed and the skin refashioned, leaving a smaller, less noticeable scar placed to blend with the surrounding skin.
It is done under local anaesthetic and usually takes less than an hour. Expect mild discomfort and swelling for a few days; most people are back to normal activities within a week. It suits scars from surgery, injury or burns.
Results differ from person to person. A consultation with Dr Essack confirms whether a treatment suits you, what it involves and what it costs.
