Scar Revision
Scar revision surgery aims to reduce the prominent appearance of a scar so it blends in with the surrounding skin. It will not remove your scar completely but will improve its appearance.
What to expect
Duration
There are many types of scar revision and at your clinic appointment, you will be advised whether you need a general or local anaesthetic procedure and what the expected recovery time is.
Recovery
Before you leave, you will be given a date to return to see the nursing team who will check your wound and/or your dressings.
Follow-up
Mr Kalu will see you in his clinic six to eight weeks following surgery.
FAQs
As with all surgical procedures it is usually safe and effective, but complications can occur. Mr Kalu will discuss the complications of the surgery with you at your consultation so you can make an informed decision about the procedure and allow you to detect and treat problems early.
The aim of this surgery is to improve the appearance of your scar but it is not possible for scars to be removed completely.
The exact surgery cost will be provided after the consultation as Mr Kalu will need to meet you first to assess your own individual needs.
A breakdown of the costs (hospital, surgical and anaesthetic fees) will be included in your clinic letter. The cost of the procedure also includes your dressings appointment post surgery and your follow up appointment with Mr Kalu six to eight weeks later.
