A healed wound or surgery leaves scars. Sometimes scars are not so beautiful after healing. The plastic surgeon can make a scar more aesthetically pleasing with a scar correction or scar revision.
Scar revision in plastic surgery, as for example after abdominoplasty, can improve the aesthetic result, in a second stage. Subtle scar adjustments can contribute to a smoother, more attractive appearance.
Scar correction, after surgery or after an accident, is a popular surgical treatment at Wellness Kliniek.
Surgical revision of a scar by a plastic surgeon means a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of an existing scar. This may involve reducing the size, changing the position or improving the colour and texture of the scar so that it becomes less noticeable and integrates better with the surrounding skin. Depending on the current scar, the appropriate technique is applied.
The choice of a specific scar revision depends on the characteristics of the scar, such as its size, location, age of the scar as well as your skin type. We use the following techniques:
After a surgical scar revision, repeated non-surgical scar treatments such as laser therapy and microdermabrasion can help improve the texture of the scar and reduce redness. This often requires several treatments. We will refer you to a centre near you for this.

Want to have a scar corrected? Take the plunge and book a no-obligation appointment to discuss your options and approach.
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
