A number of scars caused by all kinds of injuries and accidents can leave a scar despite the treatment applied. Although these scars only cause aesthetic concerns at times, they can sometimes restrict a person's functions or reduce the quality of life. This scar tissue is called scar tissue.

Although the postoperative or treatment is completed, these tissues that have not recovered sufficiently can be treated by plastic surgery interventions.

How Are Scar Revision Operations Performed?

Scar Revision operations are usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The tissue in the scar area is cut and removed, the new tissue is sutured correctly and the operation is completed. The suture procedure to be performed is usually made under the skin and permission is minimized.
Here's what you need to know about the treatment process:

If there is a swollen and irregular scar on the skin, the surgical method can be applied.
The aim of the surgical method is to remove it from the body through a permission incision, thus leaving a much thinner and non-fluffy scar.

Surgical intervention is preferred, especially in large and highly fluffy scars.

How Does The Postoperative Process of Scar Revision Progress?

After the surgery, it is recommended to protect the surgical site from water contact and to avoid activities such as swimming and sunbathing for a certain period of time.
The healing process is initially predicted to be 6 months.
After 6 months, the redness in the wound area is expected to disappear completely, side effects such as itching are expected to gradually decrease, and the scar is generally completely healed at the end of the first year.

The healing process of wounds varies from person to person, depending on the reaction of the body.
The wound condition of the person who will undergo scar revision should be examined before the revision operation, making sure that he/she has completed the healing process completely, and the intervention should be performed under these conditions.
