Scar Correction
Scar correction is surgery to improve or reduce the appearance of scars. It also restores function, and corrects skin changes (disfigurement) caused by an injury, wound, or previous surgery. Scars affect everyone, irrespective of caste, creed or sex. Moreover, there is not age bracket for scarring. Children and adults both possess skin tissue which gets damaged in case of an accident or any other tragedy.

Risk Factors of Scars
Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury such as an accident or surgery. The amount of scarring may be determined by the wound size, depth, and location, the person’s age, heredity and skin characteristics, including color (pigmentation). Not all the factors that affect a scar are completely understood.
Depending on the extent of the surgery, scar revision can be done while you are awake (local anesthesia), sleeping (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia). There is no perfect age for scar revision. Scars shrink and become less noticeable as they age. It is always advisable to wait for surgical revision until the scar lightens in color, which can be several months or even a year after the wound has healed. For some scars, however, it is best to have revision surgery 60 to 90 days after the scar matures. Its crucial to recognise the fact that each scar is different.
People with Keloids also undergo Scar Revision Surgeries. A keloid is an abnormal scar that is thicker and of a different color and texture than the rest of the skin. Keloids extend beyond the edge of the wound and are likely to come back. They often create a thick, puckered effect that looks like a tumor. Keloids are removed at the place where they meet normal tissue.
