Hello, the duration of scar revision surgery depends on the size, location, and depth of the scar, It can take anywhere between one hour to multiple hours. For further inquiries or questions, you may want to visit my website at DrRoyamd@aol.com. Good Luck!!!!
Less than an hour for the procedure, but the final result can can up to a year to be appreciated.
The length of a scar revision surgery really depends on the extent of the scar that’s being revised as well as its location. Simple scar revision surgery can take no more than 30 minutes. However certain scores require a lot more time. This could be because they are longer or are in areas of your body that pose certain challenges for your surgeon to achieve great results.
It depends on the size, position, and location of the scar. Traditionally, revision is attempted in one procedure if possible. Surgery can require anywhere from 30 minutes to hours in highly complex scars from serious wounds. Please note that a scar is the result of the body trying to heal itself.
Scar revision surgery all depends on the size of the scar itself. A small scar (less than an inch) may take only 30-60 minutes to fix. Much larger scars (several inches to major burn scars) can take several hours to fix and would likely require much heavier anesthesia (general anesthesia) in an operating room.
Scar revision can take 15 minutes for simple excision or hours depending on the complexity of the scar itself. Discuss this with your surgeon
Depending on size and location of scar, it varies widely. Scars across HIGH TENSION areas like the mid chest or back and shoulders are more challenging in removal and correction. I usually use allografts of stem cells to assist in healing. I often recommend laser for scars after surgery to improve the cosmetic result.
Usually 30-90 minute, depending on the method and extent of the scar.
Scar revision surgery may take one or more surgeries depending upon the nature of the scar and the response to surgical or medical therapy.
