Scar Revision Surgery in Pune
Surgical and non-surgical scar revision treatments for visible, raised, depressed or irregular scars at Arra Aesthetics
Scar revision is a group of treatments used to improve the appearance of scars. Depending on the type, location and severity of the scar, treatment may include topical treatments, injections, surface treatments, fat grafting or scar revision surgery.
What is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a treatment used to improve the appearance of a scar after an injury, burn, surgery or other skin damage.
Scars form when damaged skin heals. They may appear as changes in skin colour or texture, raised tissue, depressed areas or skin that has tightened around the scar.
Scar revision may involve:
- Topical treatments such as silicone gels and silicone tapes
- Injectable treatments such as fillers, fat grafting or steroid-based compounds
- Surface treatments such as dermabrasion, laser treatment and chemical peels
- Scar revision surgery
- Fat grafting
- Tissue expansion
The treatment selected depends on the type, location and severity of the scar, along with your skin type, medical history and overall health.

What Concerns Can Scar Revision Address?
Irregular Skin Surface
Some scars can cause unevenness or irregularities on the skin surface. Surface treatments may help improve their appearance.
Contracture Scars
Contractures are scars that pull the edges of the skin together. Surgical scar revision may be considered when the scar restricts flexibility.
Keloid Scars
Keloids are thick, raised clusters of scar tissue. Injectable and laser treatments may be used depending on the scar.
Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertrophic scars are thick, raised scars that remain within the area of the original injury. Treatment may include injections or laser treatment.
Depressed or Concave Scars
Depressed scars may sometimes be treated using fillers or micro and nano fat grafting techniques.
Scar Discolouration
Changes in skin colour around a scar may be addressed with surface treatments such as laser treatment, chemical peels or other suitable treatments.

When required, scar revision surgery is performed under anaesthesia, followed by scar excision and careful closure. Layered closure may be used for deeper scars or areas with significant movement to support healing and improve the scar’s appearance.
