More About the Scar Revision Procedure

While it might seem somewhat counterintuitive that one can minimize the appearance of a scar by way of a surgical procedure, it’s actually quite possible! Dr. Doshi, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, brings years’ of experience and an impressive amount of training to the table, and he focuses on subtle, conservative results.

Scar revision surgery tends to be relatively quick, with local or topical anesthetic employed in instances where surgical excision is necessary. For excision, Dr. Doshi makes an incision along the outline of the original scar, before closing the wound in a way that actively prevents the formation of tension on the skin, allowing it to heal in a way that avoids the formation of new, noticeable scarring.
