Surgical scar revision is a cosmetic procedure used to improve or reduce the appearance of scars. Scars tend to improve on their own as they mature. It can take 12- 18 months for a scar to mature, but signs that a scar is worsening or not healing properly may require intervention before this time. The major goal of the surgical scar revision at Yan’s is to enhance the appearance of a patient’s skin aesthetically by reducing or eradicating the scar from their body.

Surgical techniques are often combined with laser treatments to further refine and reduce the appearance of scars and In order to achieve optimal outcomes, more than one procedure may be needed.
