Scar Revision

Trusted, Experienced & Ethical. Boutique plastic surgery on Sydney's North Shore.

Scar Revision

Dr Sellars performs scar revision surgery. Depending on the site, size and reason for the scar, these can be treated with revision surgery under local anaesthetic in the rooms or sedation/general anesthetic in hospital.

Some scars may be treated with steroid injections such as hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Scars can be caused by many factors such as:

Previous surgery
Traumatic injury
Piercings
Infections

Some scars may cause not only an aesthetic issue but can sometimes cause functional problems, such as tethering and contractures of skin.

Patients must have realistic expectations that not all scars can be improved, even with revision surgery.

Possible risks of any surgery include:

Wound infection
Pain and discomfort
Nausea
Haematoma (an accumulation of blood around the surgical site that may require drainage)
Heavy bleeding from the incisions
Keloid or hypertrophic scars
Slow healing
Separation of the wound edges
Allergies to anaesthetic agents, antiseptics, suture material or dressings
Deep vein thrombosis DVT (blood clot in the leg)
