Scar Revision Surgery
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Fountain Valley, CA
Although scar revision can provide a more pleasing cosmetic result or improve a scar that has healed poorly, a scar cannot be completely erased. Scar revision surgery will attempt to minimize a scar so that it is less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture. The type of scar you have will determine the appropriate techniques your plastic surgeon will use to improve your scar.
