Scar Removal surgery, also commonly known as ‘Scar Revision’ surgery or ‘Scar Reduction’ surgery, is surgery to minimize a scar so that it becomes less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture. Scar Removal surgery improves the cosmetic appearance of the scar, and improves the associated self-confidence of those who feel self-conscious about the appearance of their scarring.

Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed after trauma (e.g. due to burns, injury, Caesarean- section, surgery, self-harm, acne or chickenpox). Unfortunately, some scars heal better than others and once formed are hard to remove completely. In the case of large, visible scars they can be made less visible via Scar Removal surgery.

Scar Removal surgery, or Scar Revision surgery, is also an excellent option for the therapeutic (or medical) treatment of scars that are painful, itchy or restrict your movement
