Scar Revision

Question: Where is the best place to go for scar-revision? I have a lot of little scars on my legs from previous surgeries that I would like removed. The scars are located on both legs from the knees all the way down to the ankle. I've been told that this is a "tricky" area to do scar revision. I need help finding the best plastic surgeon for scar removal to take a look at my case.

Answer: All you can do is ask around and then 'interview' a few surgeons. They will tell you the truth about how much good they can do for you. Pick one that you like and believe in...but if they tell you they can't really do much...then I guess you just have to hope that your legs are cute enough that the scars don't matter much! ♥

Answer: I had a horrible scar from thyroid surgery. My surgeon did a revision and sent the scar for testing. It showed that I form hypertrophic scar tissue after deep cuts. The scar came back within a few months of the revision.It has now been almost 12 years since my revision and the scar has started to soften and fade. I would consult a plastic surgeon to determine the type of scar you have before even thinking of surgery.

Question: Is there such thing as Scar revision? I've had some major surgery and have significant scarring. I have used silicone strips vitamine e and other ots topical stuff. Surgery was 2 years ago and I am pretty self concious of someone seeing them when I take my clothes off or wear a bathing suit.... I am caucasion, I tan very easily. Is it just too early for them to have faded to full potential? Is this something that can be altered or revised by a plastic surgeon?

Answer: There is such a thing as scar revision. You can never completely get rid of a scar, but you can reduce the appearance of some scars. If it really bothers you, it's worth talking to a plastic surgeon about. You mentioned wearing a bathing suit, which reminded me of something. It is very important to keep scars out of sunlight while they are healing. Sun exposure can make a scar worse. Good luck.

Question: Can scar revision surgery, be done on the NHS? I have a facial scar, which is slightly sunken & discolored. It makes my face look disfigured.

Answer: In theory it should be possible. Things to consider are: 1) surgery will itself result in a scar - will that be any better then the one you have? 2) it might not be possible to actually do the revision possibly because of its location etc 3) it might take some time to get a date for the op. First thing to do is have a chat with your GP and take it from there.
