Scar Revision Surgery
Advanced surgical techniques to reduce the appearance of scars and restore smooth, confident skin.
What is Scar Revision Surgery?
Scar revision surgery is a specialized procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars — making them less noticeable, smoother, and better blended with your natural skin tone and texture.
At Aakar Dermatology, scar revision is performed by dermatologic surgeon who understand how Nepali skin heals and responds to treatment. Whether your scar is from an accident on Nepali roads, earthquake injuries, burns from kitchen mishaps, childhood falls, surgical procedures, or severe acne — we create personalized treatment plans to restore your skin and confidence.
Not all scars require surgery. Some respond well to laser therapy, dermabrasion, or injectables. During your consultation at our clinic, we’ll honestly assess what’s possible and recommend the best approach for your specific scar.
Consultation & Assessment
Our demato-surgeon examines the scar carefully, asks about how it happened, and discusses your goals to create a realistic treatment plan.
Surgical Technique Selection
This crucial step involves customizing procedures (like excision, Z-plasty, or resurfacing) based on your scar’s type, location, and severity for optimal cosmetic improvement.
Precision Closure
Incisions are closed with advanced suturing techniques that work well with Nepali skin types to minimize future scarring.
Post-Procedure Care
Proper wound care, sun protection (especially important in Nepal’s high altitude), and follow-up treatments ensure optimal healing.
How Scar Revision Surgery Works?
Scar revision surgery uses various techniques depending on the scar’s size, location, and severity.
Surgical Technique Selection — Depending on your scar, we may use:
- Excision — Removing the scar tissue and closing the wound with fine sutures for minimal new scarring
- Z-plasty or W-plasty — Repositioning the scar along natural skin lines to make it blend with your skin texture
- Skin grafts or flaps — For larger scars (like burn scars), healthy skin is carefully transplanted
- Dermabrasion or laser resurfacing — Smoothing raised or textured scars common after acne or injuries
