Introduction to Scar Revision

Scars may tell a story, but that doesn’t mean you want them as the main character. Whether from an injury, burn, or past trauma, scars can range from subtle discoloration to more noticeable raised textures. While some can be hidden under clothing or makeup, others are harder to conceal and can leave you feeling self-conscious. But here’s the good news—beautiful, smooth skin is always within reach.

At her premier Beverly Hills and Los Angeles practice, Dr. Maryam Zamani takes scar revision to the next level, using a blend of advanced techniques to refine and restore your skin with precision. From tissue grafting and Z-plasty to laser therapy, injectables, and skin resurfacing, she customizes every treatment to ensure your results look effortless and natural. With her expert touch, scars fade into the background, allowing your confidence to shine through.

Your Treatment Breakdown

Scar Revision

Scar revision is a procedure that enhances the appearance of scars by reducing their size, blending them with the surrounding skin, or smoothing their texture through surgical or non-surgical techniques. It can help reduce the visibility of scars caused by injury, surgery, or skin conditions.

Recovery

You should take a few days off from work and household duties. The length of time it takes for the body to heal fully varies depending on the type of treatment.

Treatment Length

30 Minutes – 2 Hours

What is
a Scar Revision?

The way in which scars heal is determined by a variety of factors, including the location, shape, and size of the injury or burn, as well as the patient’s innate skin quality and healing abilities. Dr. Zamani, based in Pasadena, Encino, and Beverly Hills, is well-versed in multiple scar revision techniques to reduce discoloration and other aesthetic imperfections in the targeted area. Scar revision may be recommended for patients who have experienced any of the following:

Severe acne
Burns
Accidents
Radiation therapy
A C-section
Cleft lip
Breast cancer
Piercings
Skin infections
Traumatic injuries

What are the
benefits of
a Scar Revision?

The major benefit of scar revision is that it can provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the patient. While scar revision can never completely erase a scar, the procedure can reduce the scar’s overall size, color, depth, texture, and shape, making it hardly noticeable. This can be critical for a patient’s self-esteem, especially when the scar is in a prominent area, such as the face, neck, or hands. Scar revision also helps to offset discomfort or loss of function associated with a scar. If a scar is causing tension or restricting movement, scar revision can help improve mobility and comfort.

Who are the
best candidates
for a Scar Revision?

Ideal scar revision candidates in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles are in good physical health, do not have any active skin infections, and do not smoke. They should have realistic expectations for their procedure results, understanding that scar revision can improve their skin’s appearance but never completely eradicate the underlying scar tissue. It is best if scar revision is performed at least 60-90 days after the scar’s maturation period. Patients with autoimmune or bleeding disorders and those with allergies to anesthesia or other medications will need to be carefully evaluated by Dr. Zamani before being cleared for scar revision.

What’s the
first step?

To get started, you will meet with Dr. Zamani at her office in Beverly Hills for an in-depth consultation and physical assessment. You can ask the doctor questions, and Dr. Zamani will present you with a possible treatment plan to achieve your cosmetic goals. To prepare for scar revision, you will be instructed to follow detailed instructions, including discontinuing certain medications that may increase post-treatment risks.

What to expect
on the Day of a Scar Revision Treatment

The scar revision technique selected by Dr. Zamani to address your concerns will depend on the location, severity, and classification of the scar. Multiple surgical and non-surgical techniques can be combined to enhance and improve your results. With most treatment sessions, local anesthesia is used to prevent discomfort. However, Dr. Zamani may also use oral, IV, or general anesthesia for larger, more sensitive treatment areas.

Scar revision techniques include injectables, topical medical-grade skincare products, chemical peels, laser or light therapies, and dermabrasion. For deeper, more entrenched scarring, Dr. Zamani may need to create surgical incisions to remove damaged scar tissue. In this process, she may rely on advanced methods such as skin grafting, skin flaps, tissue expansion, or Z-plasty. Some patients will require multiple treatment sessions to achieve their ideal results.

Scar Revision
recovery

After scar revision with Dr. Zamani in Los Angeles or Beverly Hills, patients typically experience localized swelling, soreness, and discoloration for several weeks.

Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days, with the exception of strenuous exercise, which should be postponed for around one month. After your procedure, Dr. Zamani will provide you with detailed instructions on cleaning, dressing, and applying ointments to your wounds.

Avoid hot showers and baths, rubbing or picking at your skin for the first week, and alcoholic beverages. Throughout your healing process, use proper sun protection to shield your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Any feelings of tightness or tingling in the treatment zones should subside within approximately four weeks. You can expect to see your final results within 6 to 12 months.
