Scar Revision

Scar revision brings together surgical and complementary techniques to make scars less noticeable — including widened, tethered, hypertrophic, or keloid scars. It also covers the removal of small skin lesions, such as cysts, when they cause pain or discomfort.

Goals of the procedure

  • Treat widened, tethered, hypertrophic, or keloid scars

  • Remove small skin lesions, such as cysts, when indicated

  • Perform minor procedures under local anesthesia, in most cases

  • Plan the approach according to the type and location of the scar

Every surgical procedure involves risks. An individual consultation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.

Frequently asked questions

What patients often ask.

Is it possible to completely erase a scar?

No — no technique erases a scar completely. The goal is to make it less noticeable, and this expectation is clearly aligned during the consultation.

Which techniques are used?

From surgical revision to complementary resources such as lasers and silicone or compression therapies. The combination depends on the type of scar and the stage it is in.

What about keloids?

Keloids call for a specific approach and long-term follow-up, as they have a tendency to recur. The plan is individual and discussed transparently.

Is cyst removal a surgical procedure?

Yes — generally a minor procedure under local anesthesia, indicated when the cyst causes pain, aesthetic discomfort, or presents a risk of infection.
