Many factors can affect the severity of a scar, including the size and depth of the wound, blood supply to the area, thickness and color of your skin, and the direction of the scar.

Scar revision is a surgical procedure that is used to improve or reduce the appearance of scars and can also restore function and correct disfigurement caused by an injury, wound, or previous surgery.

Although a scar cannot be completely removed, our team at Lexington Plastic Surgeons can improve the appearance of a scar by making it less noticeable.

I love to see the work that Dr. Jones does – I appreciate the job he’s done in my behalf. He stopped the pain I had from the keloid on my chest and I couldn’t thank him more. Every time I have a problem in the future, I want him, and I recommend others to him.

Success Story

The Procedure

There are several treatment options, which vary based on the type and degree of scarring. Z-Plasty, our recommended procedure for most patients due to its effectiveness, is a surgical technique that repositions the scar to closely conform to the natural lines and creases of your skin, making it less noticeable. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will help determine which procedure is best for you.

Ideal Candidate

You should be in good general health, preferably a non-smoker. Patients undergoing this procedure should have realistic expectations for the results after surgery and be ready to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the medical team’s instructions for recovery and beyond.
