What kind of procedures are used during scar revision surgery?
In many cases, simple excision and re-closure of the wound will greatly improve the result. The z-plasty tends to heal with less tension, and replaces a straight line scar with a broken line scar. This is one of the most common and successful techniques of dealing with facial scars. Grafts and flaps are more complex procedures for complex scar revisions.
