Scar Revision

Surgical scars can sometimes heal irregularly and the skin can occasionally become retracted and indented. Dr Wolf uses a simple technique that can even out the scar and make it less visible. Occasionally we also use a small amount of fat transfer to improve the contour of the area.

Group_5

What does the treatment involve?

The tethered scar tissue is gently unpicked and released form the underlying tissue. This allows the skin to spring back to its original position.

Group_5

Why add fat transfer?

Scars have a tendency to stick back down again. By using some fat injected into the space between the skin and the underlying tissue we can minimise the frequency of scar retraction.

Group_4

Who is the treatment best suited for?

Scars from mole excisions, appendix scars and traumatic injuries that are slightly indented and unsightly.
