Scar Removal Surgery
Troublesome body or facial scars from disease, accident or surgery can make a person feel self-conscious and unattractive. Do you have scars that you feel could be minimized? Call our Wichita office at 316-263-0234 to find out about your scar reduction options!
While no scar can be removed completely, board-certified plastic surgeon,
Dr. Vanessa Voge, can minimize the scar’s appearance and improved function through scar removal surgery. The severity of scars and what can be done to treat them depends on many variables, including the size and depth of the wound, the blood supply to the area and the thickness and color of your skin.
Scar Surgery Procedure and Recovery
Scar revision is performed after the body has had time to heal itself. Frequently it can be performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home after the procedure. Dr. Voge will take the time to understand the complexity of your scars and create a treatment plan for scar reduction.
As you heal, remember the degree of improvement depends on the size and direction of your scar, the nature and quality of your skin and your post-op care. It is completely normal for your scar to look worse at first and to not see the final results of your surgery for a year or more.
