Scar Removal surgery improves the cosmetic appearance of the scar, and improves the associated self-confidence of those who feel self-conscious about the appearance of their scarring.
Scar Removal surgery, also commonly known as 'Scar Revision' surgery or 'Scar Reduction' surgery, is surgery to minimize a scar so that it becomes less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture. Scar Removal surgery improves the cosmetic appearance of the scar, and improves the associated self-confidence of those who feel self-conscious about the appearance of their scarring.
Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed after trauma (e.g. due to burns, injury, Caesarean- section, surgery, self-harm, acne or chickenpox). Unfortunately, some scars heal better than others and once formed are hard to remove completely. In the case of large, visible scars they can be made less visible via Scar Removal surgery.
Scar Removal surgery, or Scar Revision surgery, is also an excellent option for the therapeutic (or medical) treatment of scars that are painful, itchy or restrict your movement.

Whilst there are a number of non-surgical methods available to reduce scar visibility, surgical scar reduction is typically the most effective means for reducing particularly prominent, complex or unsightly scarring.
Alternative non-surgical treatments include; Dermal Fillers, IPL, Chemical Peels or Topical treatments e.g. creams, silicone gels
Scar reduction treatments do not guarantee complete removal of the scar, but aim to make it less obvious. They can also help to reduce tightness caused by the scar tissue. The colour and type of your skin, your age and the type of scarring influence how much improvement you can expect.
Often a combination of treatments will be required to achieve the optimal outcome.

Am I suitable for scar revision?
Scar revision is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
Scar revision can be performed on people of any age and is a good option for you if:
Which areas can be treated by scar revision?
Scars can be treated anywhere on the face and body.
What is the difference between 'good' and 'bad' scarring?
Some people produce better scars than others.
A 'good' scar fades significantly after appearing and blends in with the surrounding skin tone. A 'poor' scar, such as a keloid or hypertrophic scar, will stay visible and cause skin irritation for a number of months after formation. When these 'poor' scars fade they tend to whiten, flatten but, remain visible.
Good scars have the following characteristics:
Who will perform my scar revision surgery?
Your scar revision surgery will be performed by one of our trained plastic surgeons and scar specialists. We are proud to have scar specialists trained in the military who are experts in soft, tissue reconstructive surgery and experts in the scarring process.
How should I prepare for my scar revision surgery?
There is very little preparation prior to scar revision surgery, however, at your consultation with your surgeon you may be asked to do the following in advance of your treatment:
How long does scar revision surgery take?
Scar revision surgery can last anywhere between 20 minutes to 1 hour and is performed as a day-case treatment under local anaesthetic.
What type of scar revision treatment do you offer at the clinic?
We are passionate about scar treatment and scar management and offer all types of Scar Revision treatment at the Cadogan Clinic.
These range from the surgical to the non-surgical (e.g. ICON Laser, IPL, Dermal Fillers, Enerjet etc.).
It is vital that you speak to one of our specialists to develop the right programme for you.
Is scar revision surgery carried out only for cosmetic reasons?
Scar revision surgery is most commonly performed to improve the cosmetic appearance of a scar, however, it is also frequently performed for functional reasons as well.
This is most commonly the case in the instance of 'contracture'. This occurs when the formation of a scar interferes with the movement of the underlying muscles and joints, such as when a shortening or tightening of the skin causes a corresponding tightening impact on the underlying muscles. Contractures may interfere with a range of motion and other aspects of joint functioning, as well as deform the shape of the scarred body part or affect key muscle groups, such as the muscles in the face responsible for controlling facial expressions.
Are my scar revision results permanent?
The final results of your scar revision surgery will be long-lasting, however, it may take several months for your final results to become apparent and in some cases, it may take a year for the new scar to fully heal and fade.
Is scar revision painful?
Scar Revision takes place under local anaesthetic. You should not feel any pain during the procedure, and pain should be minimal during the healing process.
You may have a little swelling or bruising after treatment, as well as minor skin colour changes. These may last for 1 to 2 weeks after your surgery.
Will my scar site feel numb after scar revision surgery?
It is not uncommon to experience altered sensation following your treatment. This may either manifest in increased sensitivity (apart from the early discomfort of surgery), or the reduction in feeling around the treated area. These changes in sensation usually last for a month or so following surgery.
Is there any downtime after scar revision treatment?
There is very little downtime after scar revision surgery. Most patients will be able to return to work the same day or the following day. Your surgeon will give you clear instructions at your consultation.
How long do I need to keep my new scar out of sunlight?
We strongly recommend that you do not sit out in strong sunlight for the first 2 weeks after surgery.
Once fully recovered and the scars are matured you may expose areas on the body or face that have been treated as per normal.
What is the scar management program at the Cadogan Clinic?
Scar quality is extremely important to us and to our patients. To mitigate the risk or impact of scars, we take a proactive scar management approach to all surgical activity done on-site.
All patients undergoing surgical procedures with us are eligible for this treatment, but this will be of particular interest to patients who could potentially have larger scars in areas of the body where they could be an issue. In particular, after breast surgery, abdominal reduction and facelifts.
Our care programme includes:
Some patients may be advised to undergo:
Whilst we cannot guarantee a perfect scar, we can guarantee that our scar management programme will give your body the very best chance to heal and recover properly.
What aftercare is involved?
The most important aspect of long-term aftercare is protecting the affected area from the sun because the surgical scar will take about a year to mature and is only about 80% as strong as undamaged skin. Sunlight can cause burns, permanent redness, loss of pigment in the skin, and breakdown of the collagen that maintains the skin's elasticity.
Aftercare following the use of skin grafts or flaps is slightly more rigid. You will be scheduled to return to the Clinic at regular intervals so that your graft sites can be monitored. If artificial skin has been used you must keep the site(s) completely dry until advised otherwise – this may require specific restrictions around bathing or showering as well as clothing choice, i.e. wearing loose comfortable clothing can help reduce the disturbance to the treated area.
Massaging the treated areas after surgery when comfortable enough to do so (usually 2 weeks following surgery) is a very important part of the healing process and helps to soften your skin, adjacent tissue, and helps accelerate healing - you will be given exact instructions about aftercare and which movements when massaging would be best.
What can a surgeon do to influence scar formation?
Skilled surgeons can influence the quality of the scar by choosing the optimum position and orientation of the scar during surgery.
For instance, a vertical scar in front of the ear will be a good scar, while a transverse scar across the cheek will be a poor scar. Our surgeons aim to keep the scar as short as possible and to repair the wound with appropriate stitches. Any conventional stitch through the skin will need to be removed early to avoid stitch marks. In many areas of the body, the surgeon will choose to use dissolving suture materials under the skin, thus avoiding stitch marks altogether.
Any signs of slow healing or infection are treated promptly by our expert team. Prolonged redness or raised keloid scars are treated early, as well as patients with olive or darker skin may develop extra pigmentation around the scar, called post-inflammatory inflammation (PID).
Why are we so passionate about scar management at Cadogan Clinic?
At the Cadogan Clinic, we are passionate about scar management. This is because, with due care and consideration, a far superior outcome can be achieved on a patient by patient basis if the right process is adopted from the outset of treatment and the right treatments applied.
We have the skills in-house to dramatically improve patient outcomes, and we are passionate about delivering them to the widest possible audience via our programme.
What is caesarean-section scar revision?
Obstetricians are clever at creating high-quality Caesarian Section scars, but cannot avoid all potential problems. They try to place the scar transversely low on the abdominal wall below the bikini line.
However, the low scar through pubic hair is also wherein a small proportion of patients risk keloid scars. We now have a genetic test to assess this risk before surgery and can treat the scar itself with Cadogan Scar Management.
The bigger problem is swelling above the scar which bulges through tight clothing. The cause is the tethering of the healing scar to deeper structures as it heals and is difficult for the obstetrician to avoid. It is a problem for even the skinniest patient but becomes more significant for plumper patients. We can surgically revise these scars very effectively at the Cadogan Clinic removing the bulge (Cadogan Caesarian Section scar revision), either under local or general anaesthesia as a day case.
Patients with stretched loose skin and more subcutaneous fat will often benefit from a mini-abdominoplasty, which includes the removal of surplus skin and liposuction of the lower abdominal wall.
Patients, who have Caesarian sections performed in a hurry, often undergo the Classical Caesarian Section with a vertical midline abdominal scar. The scar is not only difficult to hide but also of lesser quality. Cadogan Scar management becomes a more likely option.
Patients who have multiple caesarian sections sometimes end up with multiple scars. We can revise these to replace them with a single good quality scar.
