Scars can form after surgery, injury, burns, acne, or other skin trauma, and while many scars fade over time, some remain raised, uneven, tight, or highly visible. For some individuals, scars can affect confidence, comfort, or even movement depending on their location and severity. Scar revision procedures can help improve the appearance, texture, and function of scars while creating smoother, more natural-looking skin contours.

Using advanced reconstructive and cosmetic techniques, Dr. Doren and her team work closely with patients to develop treatment plans tailored to the type, location, and severity of each scar.
What Is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a procedure designed to improve the appearance or function of a scar. While scars cannot be completely erased, treatment can often help make them less noticeable, smoother, and more consistent with the surrounding skin.
Scar revision may help address:
-
Raised or thick scars
-
Wide or uneven scars
-
Tight or restrictive scars
-
Discolored scars
-
Surgical scars
-
Scars from injury or burns
Treatment plans vary depending on the size, depth, location, and characteristics of the scar.

Benefits of scar revision may include:

Smoother skin texture
-
Reduced scar visibility
-
Improved skin contour and symmetry
-
Better movement in areas affected by tight scars

Scar Revision Procedures
Scar revision treatment is highly individualized and may involve surgical or non-surgical techniques depending on the type of scar being treated.
Treatment options may include:
Surgical Scar Revision
Surgical scar revision removes or repositions scar tissue to create a smoother and less visible appearance. Advanced closure techniques may help improve scar healing over time.
Scar Resurfacing and Refinement
Some scars may benefit from treatments designed to improve texture, contour, or discoloration, helping the scar blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Treatment for Tight or Restrictive Scars
Scars that limit movement or create tightness may require reconstructive techniques to improve flexibility and comfort.
Dr. Doren carefully customizes every treatment plan to improve both appearance and function while prioritizing natural-looking results.
