Scar Revision: Traumatic scars can be removed or revised depending on the extent and location of the scar. A careful facial exam assessing the severity, quality, and color of the scar is very important. After the exam decisions can be made as to what treaments will be used. Common treatments for hypertrophic (thickened) scars include: surgical removal, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, and steroid injections.

Scar Revision: There are multiple approaches to scar revision including surgical excision, turning a linear scar to a "zig-zag, " dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing. You should seek a personal consultation with a plastic surgeon to determine what is the best approach for you.
