Keloid & Scar Revision
Keloids are raised, thickened scars that can follow surgery, injury, or acne. They can itch, hurt, restrict movement, or simply draw the eye. Scar revision surgery removes the scar tissue and closes the wound carefully, with technique choices aimed at keeping the new scar as quiet as possible.
Reconstruction after skin cancer surgery is a daily part of this practice, and the same closure techniques — meticulous suturing, flaps and grafts where warranted — are what scar revision draws on.
