Each person is unique in their genetic makeup and heals differently after surgery. Given the same surgery performed by the same surgeon, every patient will scar in a much different way than another patient.
Scar revision is considered after adequate time has been given to the body to heal itself. This time is approximately one year after or so after the initial trauma. Dr. Ali will meet with you at the initial consultation and let you know if a scar revision would be beneficial to you.
For successful revision of the scar, it is necessary to perform the surgery very meticulously. The scar is closed in multiple layers and sometimes it is important to change the direction of the scar so that it blends in with the normal skin crease. Frequently, a scar revision can be performed in our office under local anesthetic, allowing you to go home soon after the procedure.

No amount of research is a substitute for a professional consultation with a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, not some other cosmetic association. Your physician must be board certified in order to become a member of this Society, the most elite organization of plastic surgeons in the world.
