Scar revisions

Whether caused by accidents, disease or by surgery, a scar develops, depending on how your body heals. The size and depth of a wound, blood supply and the thickness and colour of your skin can all determine the nature of a scar.

People with facial scars are usually very self-conscious and can suffer from emotional as well as a physical effects. All scars, wherever they may appear on the body, may be amenable to plastic surgical revision.

Our consultant will assess whether cosmetic or laser surgery is most appropriate for your scar. No scar can be removed completely; however, it can help to improve your appearance and self-confidence and also increase the level of function.
