What is done in Scar Removing Procedure?
Scar management can be done both surgically and non-surgically depending on type of scar. Consultation with your doctor is must for deciding which procedure is best for you.
Here are some possible options:
Scar Revision
Scar revision is most commonly sought procedure for scar corrections. In this procedure scar is reduced in size and thickness. However, for best results we have to combine it with different other procedures.
Dermabrasion
This procedure helps by smoothening out surface irregularities of scars by abrading the top most layer of the skin. As a result raw areas are formed that can be left alone for natural healing or sometimes skin grafted.
Skin Grafting
In this procedure, skin from other part of the body and is placed over the injured area. Grafts may not always be cosmetically pleasing because the grafted skin may not match the surrounding skin’s color or texture. The donor area from where the skin graft is taken will also leave some scarring which in due course of time will lighten, but skin grafts can significantly restore function to a large scarred area. This is commonly done for hypertrophic scars and in patients with functional problem.
Tissue Expansion
This procedure involves inserting a silicon balloon under the healthy skin adjacent to a scarred area. The balloon is gradually filled with a saline solution either weekly or bi weekly, to expand the adjacent normal skin. After the skin has been adequately expanded, which may take up to 10 to 12 weeks, the balloon is then removed. The scar is then surgically removed, and the stretched normal texture skin is advanced over the scarred area.
Z-Plasty
It is one of the most frequently done procedure by plastic surgeons. Z-Plasty is used to realign the scar in a more anatomical position parallel to the natural skin creases. This utilizes the surrounding laxity of skin to give new improved direction to scar for better healing. The new scar is thin and less noticeable. Z-plasty can also be used in releasing contractures of skin after post burn and or post traumatic scars.
Laser Resurfacing
Most common technology used for scars in modern times is Fractional CO2 laser which is frequently used for resurfacing scars. Fractional CO2 laser removes the topmost layers of skin, allowing new, smooth skin to form. Repeat sessions are required but results are very significant.
Silicone Gel Sheets
Silicone gel sheets are thin soft malleable sheets which are placed over scars. These sheets help in flattening of hypertrophic and keloid scars to some extent, however the duration of treatment is 4-6 months.
Steroids
Intralesional steroids are very commonly used non surgical method for scar reduction.
