Aim of Treatment:
Surgical scar revision is a cosmetic technique aimed at improving the function and texture of damaged skin tissues. This procedure helps scars become less noticeable, fade over time, and shrink with age. Additionally, it corrects blood vessels and veins, restoring normal skin function. A major goal of this treatment is to reduce pressure on the wound during the healing process.
Techniques We Use:
Surgeons and dermatologists use a variety of techniques for Surgical Scar Revision in Georgia & Tbilisi based on the severity of the wounds.
Surgical Excision:
This is a widely used procedure when medications and non-invasive treatments fail to deliver the desired results. It is mainly performed for large, severely damaged scars. The process involves cutting and removing scar tissues to achieve size reduction. If performed in stages, it is referred to as ‘serial excision’.
Flaps, Grafts, and Artificial Skin:
Healthy skin tissues are transplanted to the affected area to treat wounds and scars caused by trauma or injury. This technique is useful when there is insufficient skin to cover incisions. Thin layers of skin are grafted from one part of the body and relocated to the scarred area.
Z-Plasty and W-Plasty:
-
Z-Plasty: Involves creating a Z-shaped incision in the wound to break the straight line of scar tissue into smaller, less visible units.
-
W-Plasty: Uses a zigzag incision pattern to disrupt the straight scar line, making it less noticeable. Unlike Z-Plasty, this technique does not require skin flap relocation.
Laser Skin Care and Dermabrasion:
These treatments remove the top layer of skin, making scars less visible.
-
Dermabrasion: A medical tool with a rotating wheel is used to exfoliate the epidermis, aiding in scar removal.
-
Laser Resurfacing: Uses carbon dioxide laser beams to penetrate the skin with precision. It is typically performed five days after a scar excision.
