Scar Revision
‘Noticeable scars that worsen over time can be treated to improve their appearance and comfort’
Scar Revision in Dubai
While many scars naturally fade and improve over time, some may enlarge or worsen, developing characteristics such as excessive width, a raised or sunken appearance, an irregular shape, or discoloration from hypo- or hyperpigmentation. If you are unhappy with the appearance of a scar or if it causes discomfort or irritation, Dr. Ahmad is available to help. During your consultation, Dr. Ahmad will carefully evaluate your scar and recommend the most effective treatment options to reduce its visibility and improve its appearance.

The ideal candidate for Thigh Lift Surgery with Dr. Ahmad:
A scar that is excessively wide
A scar that is irregularly shaped
A scar that notably protrudes or is indented from the surrounding skin
A scar that is significantly lighter or darker in colour than the surrounding skin
Your scar revision procedure
Because scars are so different, there are multiple surgical procedures that Dr. Ahmad used to alter the scar’s appearance.
The most common procedures include:
Re-excision
Surgery that removes the outer layer of a scar and assists with de-pigmentation.
Skin grafts
Transfer of tissue for one place of the body to the scar area.
Laser or Dermabrasion
Transfer of tissue for one place of the body to the scar area.
Tissue expansion
Surgical procedure that expands healthy tissue surrounding the scar in order to replace it.
Scar revision may also involve topical treatments and subdermal injections in order to adjust the colour and smoothness of the scar tissue:
Steroid injections
To assist with elevated, hypertrophic or keloidal scars reducing them in size.
Lightening creams
To assist with depigmentation.
Whatever the treatment used, the result is scar tissue that more closely resembles the surrounding skin.

What to Expect Right After Scar Revision
Scar revision is an outpatient procedure typically performed under local anesthesia. In most cases, patients can return to work as early as the day after surgery, provided the scar is not located in an area that interferes with daily activities.
Long-Term Care for Scar Healing
Mild pain at the surgical site is common for the first 1–2 weeks, along with some swelling, bruising, and temporary discoloration. These effects gradually subside as the area heals.
To protect the scar and minimize pigmentation, it is essential to apply sunscreen to the incision area for at least one year following the procedure.
