Scar Revision

Scar Revision;

Scars are a bane for those who have them. They want to get rid of them or at least make them less visible at any cost. Progress in science and technology has been a big boon for such people.

Often scars can be corrected by surgery where in they are cut out and replaced with better looking scar by doing a cosmetic suturing. This is a very specialized work that comes with years spent in mastering the techniques of suturing. These can be further helped with Fractional CO2 laser treatments during surgery and after stitch removal. These help in growth of collagen within the scar to make it firmer and stronger.

Raised or thickened scars tend to be often painful or itchy and ugly looking. These are classified as Keloids or Hypertrophic scars. They can be treated by preventing the multiplication of fibroblasts ( healing cell that lays down fibrin). Dr Goyal has invented a combination of 3 drugs that can be injected into these scars to help them flatten. (link to the page on Triple combination injection). This treatment is very well accepted by most dermatologists in india and abroad. Again modification of scar can be done once it has flattened with Fractional CO2 laser treatments.

A depressed scar will need lifting. This can be achieved using synthetically prepared Hyaluronic acid injections (commonly called as dermal fillers). They can also be lifted by placing fat underneath the scar. Fat has far greater advantage over fillers which are inert material. Fat helps significantly in improving the color and texture of scar. It also makes the scar supple. Of particular importance are burn or operative scars on scalp. Such scars need a couple of fat grafting sessions following which hair transplant results are significantly better. Many times nanofat injections into scars helps them with stem cell regeneration.
