Surgical scar revision
When is scar excision appropriate?
For thickened, contracted, or unfavorably oriented scars that affect appearance or restrict movement.

How long does healing take?
Initial healing takes 1–2 weeks, with the scar gradually smoothing over several months.
Do taping and massage help?
Yes, properly timed taping and gentle massage support a smooth result.
Can the effect be enhanced with additional methods?
Depending on assessment, laser treatment, chemical peeling, or silicone gels can be used to further improve appearance.
