Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process, but when they are raised, depressed, discolored, or located in prominent areas, they can become a source of self-consciousness or discomfort. Scar revision surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at improving the appearance, texture, or position of a scar to make it less noticeable and more harmonious with the surrounding skin.
Dr. Ravi Saroha brings a refined, personalized approach to each case of scar revision. Whether the scar resulted from trauma, surgery, acne, or burns, he evaluates the depth, location, and type of scar before recommending the most appropriate solution — which may include surgical excision, layered closure, Z-plasty, laser therapy, or steroid injections.
Scar revision doesn’t erase a scar completely but significantly improves its appearance, blending it more naturally with your skin and restoring confidence in your look. Dr. Saroha's aesthetic insight and reconstructive precision ensure each treatment is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Scar revision is suitable for individuals who:
It’s generally best to wait at least 6–12 months after the scar forms, as many scars fade naturally with time. Scar revision is most effective when the scar is mature and stable.
It depends on the scar type. Some scars improve significantly with a single surgical procedure, while others, especially keloids or acne scars, may require multiple sessions (e.g., laser, steroid injections, or resurfacing).
Downtime is minimal for most cases. Mild redness, swelling, or tightness may last a few days. Full healing of the revised scar and final cosmetic results typically take several weeks to months.
Yes. Dr. Ravi Saroha specializes in treating complex scars, including those from burns, trauma, or previous surgeries, and offers advanced techniques like Z-plasty and tissue repositioning for functional and aesthetic improvement.
Initial improvements are visible in 2–3 weeks, but full results, including color and texture blending, usually develop over 3 to 6 months as the skin continues to remodel.
