Surgical Scar Revision in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Scars come in various forms, each requiring a specific approach for optimal results. Here’s a breakdown of common scar types and potential treatment options:

• Atrophic Scars: These indented scars often follow acne or chickenpox. We offer dermal fillers, punch excision, and subcision to elevate the scar and improve texture.
• Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, red scars that may extend beyond the original wound site. Treatment options include pressure therapy, silicone gel sheeting, and corticosteroid injections.
• Keloid Scars: Similar to hypertrophic scars but larger and more aggressive. We may recommend intralesional steroid injections, cryotherapy, or surgical excision with scar revision techniques.
• Contracture Scars: Tight, rigid scars that restrict movement, often caused by burns. Z-plasty or W-plasty techniques can improve flexibility and range of motion.
