Surgery, injury, and life in general often leave behind reminders in the form of scars. While these are a natural part of healing, some scars may be placed in ways that compromise self-confidence. Depending on the cause, type, and extent of scar tissue, cosmetic plastic surgeon Christopher Jones, MD, PC, of Indianapolis has an arsenal of techniques to reduce or eliminate existing scars. 

Is a scar revision right for me?

Scar revision is a very personalized procedure that’s designed to minimize the appearance of unsightly scars, so you won’t have to hide your skin another day. This type of procedure might be right for you if:

  • You’re generally healthy
  • Topical treatments aren’t working
  • Your skin is healthy and elastic
  • Your scar is jagged, misshapen, or discolored
  • Your scar is affecting your self-confidence

It’s important for you to know that while scar revision surgery can certainly provide a more pleasing aesthetic outcome, it won’t erase scars entirely.

What happens during scar revision surgery?

Your scar revision surgery, which is an outpatient procedure, if often performed under local anesthesia in the office. Dr. Jones makes very precise incisions to revise the scar. 

How long does it take for a scar revision to heal?

Because Dr. Jones offers so many different types of scar-revision procedures, your recovery time just depends on your specific surgery and how quickly you heal. In most cases though, initial healing takes at least 1-2 weeks.

After that point, your incision site should be healed and Dr. Jones can get you started on treatments to enhance healing and minimize the appearance of surgical scars.

Do I need surgery to get rid of a scar?

Not always. At the office of Christopher Jones, MD, PC, your scar-revision treatment package is tailored to the severity of your scar and your overall skin health. To break up scar tissue and stimulate new tissue development, Dr. Jones may recommend:

  • Chemical peels
  • Dermabrasion
  • Laser resurfacing
  • Skin bleaching agents

If you have sunken scars, which are commonly associated with certain types of acne, you may benefit from dermal fillers to help plump your skin. In some cases, these alternative scar-revision treatments are used after surgery to help you heal and to restore your healthy skin.
