Scar Revision
Refining Scars for a Smoother, More Confident Appearance
What is Scar Revision Surgery?
Scar Revision is a surgical procedure designed to minimize the appearance of facial scars, improve skin texture, and restore confidence. Whether scars result from injury, surgery, or other causes, this technique can enhance facial harmony by refining the scar’s appearance and seamlessly blending it with the surrounding skin. Scar revision With Dr. Yalon Dolev is ideal for individuals seeking to reduce visible facial scarring and achieve a smoother, more uniform complexion.
How it works
Scar revision is a tailored procedure. Dr. Dolev approaches each case with a customized technique that depends on the scar’s type, size, location, and patient goals. Typically, the procedure involves the following steps:
Assessment and Planning
During the initial consultation, the scar is carefully assessed to determine the most effective technique for improving it. Then, a personalized plan is made to treat the scar and surrounding skin.
Scar Tissue Removal or Adjustment
For deeper or irregular scars, the procedure may involve excising the scar tissue and re-closing the area with sutures to create a less visible scar. Alternatively, irregular edges may be softened to allow the scar to blend naturally with the surrounding skin.
Skin Realignment
In cases where the scar has caused skin distortion, underlying tissues may be gently adjusted or repositioned to restore a smoother surface. Dr. Dolev uses techniques such as Z-plasty or W-plasty to redistribute tension and camouflage the scar.
Closure and Finishing Touches
The revised area is closed using fine sutures or advanced wound-closure techniques to ensure optimal healing and minimal scarring. Additional therapies, such as dermabrasion or laser treatments, may be recommended to refine the results further.
Scar revision is a transformative procedure that restores balance and harmony to the face by minimizing the appearance of scars. Dr. Dolev’s tailored approach and long-lasting results make individuals feel more confident and comfortable in their skin.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Scar revision is an excellent option for individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of facial scars caused by injury, surgery, or even acne.
