Scar revision is one of the most frequently performed surgeries and we are the pioneers in central india since last 30 years. .surgery may be the only answer. .surgery /laser/chemical peel/dermabrasion are some of the possibilities. The.surgery is almost painless because there are enough medications to keep the pain under control. Scars improve over time at-least 1 year or more. If they do not improve then plastic surgery consultation may be sought. Scars can be improved by surgery but not deleted. Once the scars form they are mature in 8 months to a year and generally they do not disappear. There is nothing which can vanish a scar. We need to examine the patient to know what is wanted and what can be done and to work out how much, when, where, etc
