UNDERSTANDING FACIAL SCAR REVISION

Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. They are unavoidable results of injury or surgery, and their development can be unpredictable. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that affects your appearance. Scars may be raised or recessed, different in color or texture from surrounding healthy tissue or particularly noticeable due to their size, shape or location.
With very few exceptions most people are self-conscious about facial scars. Some people may also experience diminished functioning of the eyes, mouth, or nose due to scarring. Scar revision surgery is meant to minimize the scar so that it is more consistent with your surrounding skin tone and texture. If you've wondered how facial scar revision could improve your appearance, your self-confidence, or your level of facial functioning, we invite you to discuss your questions with Dr. Hawrych.
Facial scar revision makes it possible to correct the flaws that undermine self-confidence. Changing how your scar looks can help change how you feel about yourself.

Scar revision is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Scar revision can be performed on people of any age and is a good option for you if:

• You are bothered by a scar on your face
• You are physically healthy
• You don’t smoke
• You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
• You do not have active acne or other skin diseases in the area to be treated
