Scar Revision
Each person is unique and the way one person scars
may be much different from the way another person may scar. Scar revision
is performed after the body has had time to heal itself (usually 1 year or
so after the initial trauma). Board Certified Dermatologist, Babar K. Rao,
MD, FAAD, will meet you at the initial consultation and let you know if a
scar revision would be of benefit to you. Your scar revision procedure can
be performed in our office under local anesthetic, allowing you to go home
shortly after the procedure.
The effect of facial scarring is much more than skin
deep. Often it is very difficult to evaluate the emotional impact of scars
on the face. This is especially true with children who are unable to
verbalize their feelings about the scars, or in males who are taught to
minimize their concern about their appearance. It is apparent that many
people undergo unnecessary deformity because either they or their families
have failed to deal with their concern over the effects of facial scarring
or have failed to seek advice on what can be done to improve the
appearance of facial scars.
If you have any questions about our dermatology or dermatopathology procedures please feel free to contact Board Certified Dermatologist, Board Certified Dermatopathologist, Babar K. Rao, MD, FAAD at his Manhattan, New York, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, or Fresno, California offices. |
