Scar Revision

 

 

Dr. Cruise's Philosophy Regarding Scar Revision

 

My time spent with burn victims as a director at the Grossman Burn Unit has made me understand the devastation associated with scar deformity. I realize that most people reading through this web site have scars that are minor compared to a burn scar, but the effect can be similar. It can significantly diminish one's confidence.

 

Within the burn unit, we have developed the optimal treatment for scar reduction. Of course, the average scar is much simpler to treat but many of the burn techniques are useful on even small scars.

 

If you have a large scar, it is often useful to do serial excisions to try and remove as much of it as possible. If your scar is sunken, it is useful to elevate it using various techniques such as fat transplantation and local tissue rearrangement.

 

After revision, I have my patients apply topical steroids, Vitamin E, and silicone to minimize the redness and excess scar formation. Sometimes, steroid injection is necessary.
