✨ Scar Revision Surgery in the Philippines

---

Scar revision surgery is a procedure performed to improve the appearance of scars, restore skin function, or reduce discomfort caused by injury, surgery, burns or trauma. While no scar can be completely erased, revision surgery can significantly soften, flatten, lighten, or realign scars to make them less visible and more natural-looking.

The approach varies based on the type, location, and severity of the scar, and may involve excision, layered closure, skin flaps, grafting, or resurfacing techniques.

• Hypertrophic or keloid scars (raised, itchy, thick)
   
• Contracture scars from burns or trauma
   
• Wide or sunken surgical scars
   
• Facial scars from acne, injury, or stitches
   
• Function-limiting scars that restrict movement
   
• Asymmetric or distorted scars

• Procedure Time: 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the scar
   
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia for small scars; general for larger or multiple areas
   
• Setting: Outpatient surgery or minor procedure room
   
• Downtime: Minimal to 1 week, depending on the technique used
   
• Healing Time: 1 to 3 weeks; scar continues to improve over 3–12 months
   
• Supportive Therapies: Silicone sheets, steroid injections, or laser treatments may be combined for optimal results

Q: Can old scars still be revised?
A: Yes. Scar tissue can often be improved even years after the initial injury or surgery.

Q: Will the scar go away completely?
A: No scar can be erased fully, but revision makes it significantly less noticeable in most cases.

Q: Do you treat keloids or hypertrophic scars?
A: Yes. Treatment may include excision + steroid injections, pressure therapy, or adjunct laser treatments for keloid control.

Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: Most revisions are done under local anesthesia, and post-op discomfort is minimal.
