Hello, it depends on the exact area, the length, and the width if your scar. There are many non-invasive procedures and creams that can also help on diminishing your scar. Even with scar revision surgery, the scar may need the above-mentioned procedures for the optimal result. You can visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information.
There are so many factors that play a role in the efficacy of scar revision surgery. First, the type and location of the scar. Then the length, characteristics and color of the scar. Finally, the amount of normal tissue that is around it. For example, it is very difficult to get rid of a scar that involves a big portion of a body location. In those instances you can improve the appearance but not entirely get rid of it.
Scar revision surgery usually means removal of the old scar and creation of a new, hopefully less conspicuous scar. It may involve little more than removal and resuturing or it may attempt to relocate the scar or orient the scar more favorably. Sometimes a linear scar can be broken up into a series of zig zags to make it less noticeable.
