What is Scar Revision?

Scar revision is a customized treatment that improves the appearance of scars by addressing their texture, color, and size. Depending on whether a scar is raised, depressed, or discolored, different techniques may be used to achieve the best results. Dr. Daraei and his team offer a range of scar revision methods, including laser treatments, microneedling, injectables, and topical treatments. In more severe cases, surgical scar revision may be necessary to excise and reposition the scar for improved healing and a more natural appearance. While scar revision does not completely eliminate scars, improving their texture and color with treatment can make them less noticeable.

Candidates for Scar Revision

The best candidates for scar revision are in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results of their treatment. Many patients seek scar revision for scars caused by acne, burns, surgical procedures, injuries, or piercings. During a consultation, Dr. Daraei will assess the severity and characteristics of the scar to determine the most effective treatment approach. Scar revision is highly customizable, ensuring that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their aesthetic goals.

Scar Revision Procedure

Scar revision procedures vary depending on the type and severity of the scar. Non-surgical treatments such as laser therapy, microneedling, dermal fillers, and chemical peels are commonly performed in-office with minimal downtime. These treatments work by stimulating collagen production, resurfacing the skin, and improving discoloration for a more even texture.

For more prominent or severe scars, surgical revision may be necessary. This procedure involves carefully removing the scar with a scalpel and closing the wound with precision to reposition the scar or minimize its appearance. Before treatment, the area will be numbed to ensure patient comfort, and Dr. Daraei will determine the most appropriate anesthesia based on the specific procedure.

Scar Revision Recovery

Recovery after scar revision depends on the treatment method used. Non-surgical treatments typically require little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately. Some mild redness, swelling, or temporary sensitivity may occur but usually resolve within a few days. Surgical scar revision may require a slightly longer healing period, with sutures typically removed within one to two weeks. Patients should follow post-procedure care instructions provided by Dr. Daraei to ensure optimal healing and results.

Scar Revision Results

Results from scar revision treatments become more noticeable as the skin heals and regenerates. Non-surgical treatments may require multiple sessions to achieve the best results, while surgical scar revision provides long-lasting improvements after a single procedure. Over time, scars become less prominent, blending more naturally with the surrounding skin.

“Absolutely no Judgment”

This was my first foray into the world of plastic surgery. While I try to keep myself in shape, the condition around my eyes made me look old and tired. Of course, I was nervous when I met with Dr. Daraei and his staff for the consultation. Everyone was very nice and there was absolutely no judgment projected toward me by any of the staff.
In fact, the entire staff and Dr. Daraei seemed genuinely enthusiastic about helping me feel better about my appearance.

“I never felt rushed”

During the consultation all my questions were answered and Dr.
Daraei suggested the tissue removal from my eyelids. He mentioned the slightly swollen look that I thought was a sinus condition. When he showed me how much of my eyelid was hidden, l was amazed. He then took the time to explain the procedures I might want and answered every question I had. At no time did he make me feel pressured or rushed or that he had somewhere else to go.

“Would do it Again!”

Dr. Paul Daraei performed blepharoplasty on both my eyes. He removed the very pronounced bags from under my eyes and removed tissue from my upper eyelids that made it look like I did not have eyebags, when my eyes were open. Let me say this is the best thing I have done for my appearance and would do it again!
