What is Burn and Scar Revision?
Burn and scar revision refers to the process of correcting and improving existing scars through surgical intervention. This procedure aims to restore the natural balance of the skin, reduce the appearance of scars, and increase the patient's aesthetic and functional satisfaction.
Pre-Treatment Assessment
A detailed preliminary evaluation is essential for successful treatment. This evaluation examines:
- Age of the wound/burn and cause of formation
- Depth of the scar and affected tissue layers
- Location of the scar and its effect on surrounding tissues
- Patient's general health condition and expectations
Our Techniques:
Laser Treatment
Modern laser technologies can reduce scars by restructuring the skin surface. Lasers of different wavelengths can target tissue damage at different depths.
Dermabrasion
By carefully peeling the upper layer of the skin, it promotes the formation of a new and healthy skin layer. Particularly effective for superficial scars.
Surgical Techniques
- Wound Closure: Preferred for fine scars, leaves minimal visible scarring.
- Skin Graft: Transfer of healthy skin from another area to the wound site.
- Flap: Transfer of tissue with its own blood supply.
Fillers
Special filling materials can improve scar appearance by filling subcutaneous gaps.
Advanced Treatment Methods
- Stem Cell Applications: Accelerates tissue regeneration.
- Functional Muscle Transfers: Used especially in areas with limited movement.
- Fillers: Used in scar correction by filling subcutaneous gaps.
