Who is this procedure for?
You can consider a correction if a visible scar, thick, retracted, or painful affects your comfort or your image.
Indications concern post-operative scars, burn sequelae, or old traumatic scars.
Certain situations involve functional discomfort, such as limited mobility or skin tension.
A period of several months after the initial injury is often still necessary before evaluating an indication.
Consultation process
The consultation involves a precise clinical analysis of the scar and its skin environment.
The discussion allows for an assessment of scar maturation, thickness, color, and functional impact.
You will receive detailed explanations on the possible options, their limitations, and the expected outcomes.
A personalized quote will be established after discussing the feasible techniques.
Preparation steps, necessary examinations, technical choices
Preparation depends on the type of scar and its age.
Additional examinations may be proposed if a particular context requires it.
The technical choice takes into account the location, the skin quality, and your expectations.
The aftermath, constraints, and healing times are explained before any scheduling.
The procedure in practice
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, sometimes combined with sedation, depending on the situation.
The duration varies depending on the extent of the correction and the chosen technique.
The principles are based on a controlled surgical revision of the scar tissue.
Cosmetic surgery procedures are not performed within our clinic.
Post-operative care
The aftermath includes moderate discomfort, varying depending on the treated area.
Precise local care accompanies the healing phase.
Resumption of activities is adapted to the procedure and individual factors.
A regular post-operative follow-up allows for adjustments to care if necessary.
Results and scars
The result is assessed after a maturation period, often several months.
The corrected scar becomes softer, less visible, or less restrictive.
No scar disappears completely, even after correction.
Satisfaction depends on the skin quality and individual scar reaction.
Risks and possible complications
As with any surgical procedure, risks exist, explained during consultations.
They may include unpredictable scarring, partial recurrence, or incomplete evolution.
The final quality remains variable, despite a mastered technique.
Clear information aims to secure your decision.
Fees and coverage
The correction of scars may fall under a reconstructive indication depending on the situation.
Partial coverage may sometimes be possible after evaluation.
Fees depend on the complexity, the area, and the medical context.
A detailed quote will be provided after consultation.
