Abstract

Scars are inevitable. They are not only a cause of aesthetic concern, the scar associated with contracture may be debilitating in normal day to day life. They increase the morbidity and decrease the productivity. Major scars may become a cause of social embarrassment and may have a psychological impact on the patient. They can be due to acne, burn, trauma or surgery. Revision of minor scar can be done with local tissue rearrangement. Keloids and hypertrophic scars can be treated with both invasive and non-invasive techniques. Major functionally incapacitating scars can be revised with scar excision with subsequent tissue cover of the raw area. We present an overview of the scar revision and its treatment options.
