Scar Revision Torrance

With Dr. Sherif Khattab in Torrance, California

Scars are permanent reminders of previous trauma to the skin. Scar revision is used to improve the appearance of unwanted scar tissue. While it’s never possible to completely remove a scar, scar revision can drastically improve the color, size, shape and texture of your scar.

Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Sherif Khattab specializes in the latest scar revision techniques. He can determine which option will yield the best results for you.

When to Consider Scar Revision

Scar revision Torrance, CA can be used to reduce the appearance of scars on your face and body. Some of the common types of scars removed during revision include surface irregularities like acne scars and hypertropic scars which are often raised, red and uncomfortable and can be hyperpigmented or hypopigmented. Keloids are larger and more painful than hypertropic scars and can occur anywhere on your body, but are most commonly developed on the face, neck, ears, chest or shoulders, where fat tissue is scarce. Contractures are scars that restrict movement and are common after a burn or form where a wound crosses a joint, restricting movement of the fingers, elbows, knees or neck.

As a general rule, the best candidates for scar revision are in good health, and have realistic expectations for the outcome of scar revision. Dr. Khattab will be able to determine if scar revision is right for you following an in-house consultation. The type of scar you have will determine the technique Dr. Khattab will use to improve your scar.
