They are made of fibrous tissue and vary in size,\nshape, color and texture. Scar revision surgery is a plastic surgery procedure\nto improve the condition or appearance of a scar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before patients undergo scar revision surgery, it is\nimportant that they are aware of the different scar types, as this will\ndetermine which technique their surgeon will use. Subtle scars are marked by\nminor discolorations or surface irregularities, and do not cause physical\ndiscomfort. Examples include acne scars and those resulting from minor injuries\nor prior surgeries. Hypertrophic scars are comprised of thick clusters of scar\ntissue that develop over a wound site. They are usually raised, may cause some\ndiscomfort and are often red in appearance. They can widen over time. Keloids\nare larger and can be painful or itchy. They extend beyond the dimensions of\nthe original wound and can appear anywhere on the body, but usually develop in\nareas with little underlying fat. Contractures occur where there is a\nsignificant amount of tissue loss, and are commonly found on burn victims. They\nrestrict movement when skin and underlying tissue pull together during healing.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/prescottent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/iStock-685846144-1280x854.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prescottent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/iStock-685846144-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/prescottent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/iStock-685846144-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/prescottent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/iStock-685846144.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to treatment, anesthesia will be administered. Whether\nthe patient is given local anesthesia, general anesthesia and\/or intravenous\nsedation depends upon the type of procedure. The patient may undergo topical\ntreatments to help the wound close and heal; these include gels and tapes to\ntreat scars and discoloration. Injectable treatments are used to fill sunken or\ndepressed scars. They work by relying on steroid-based compounds to reduce\ncollagen formation, but must be repeated periodically in order to maintain\nresults. Surface treatments are the most common type of scar revision,\nsoftening their appearance and reducing uneven pigmentation. Surface treatments\neither remove the top layers of skin or alter the existing tissue. Options\ninclude dermabrasion, laser therapy, chemical peels, and skin bleachers.\nOccasionally, deep scars require an incision for surgical removal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the producer, the patient will likely experience some\nswelling, bruising and discomfort for a week or two. The healing process\ncontinues as the scars gradually fade over time. Results are long-lasting or\npermanent, but it may take several months to a year before they are readily\napparent. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Prescott Ear, Nose, Throat &amp; Allergy<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+19287789190\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(928) 778-9190<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scars are remnants of wounds that have healed following an accident, injury or disease.
