Scar revision and correction is a group of treatments in plastic surgery and dermatology aimed at improving the appearance, comfort, and function of scars that have not healed satisfactorily. Scars from surgery, burns, injuries, or skin conditions can be raised, sunken, wide, discoloured, tight, or painful — and while no scar can be completely erased, modern techniques can make them significantly less noticeable and more comfortable. Treatment ranges from non-surgical approaches such as steroid injections, laser therapy, and microneedling to surgical techniques including excision, Z-plasty, skin grafting, and contracture release. The right approach depends on the scar type, its location, how mature it is, and the patient's skin type. Many patients benefit from a combination of techniques delivered over several months, and realistic expectations — meaningful improvement rather than perfection — are central to planning.
