Scar Revision Surgery

Scar revision surgery in Dubai

Scars can form after injury, surgery, acne, burns, or medical treatments. Some fade with time, while others remain raised, sunken, tight, or visibly darker than the surrounding skin. 

If a scar affects your confidence or causes discomfort during movement, scar revision in Dubai at CosmeSurge can help improve its appearance and restore comfort.

Our plastic surgeons offer advanced non-surgical options and scar revision surgery in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to help scars blend more naturally with your skin tone and texture. The aim is improvement, not perfection, with results that look natural and mature over time.

What is scar revision

Scar revision refers to a set of procedures designed to reduce the visibility, thickness, or tightness of an existing scar. The treatment plan is customised as per individual needs and may include:

  • Medical-grade topical therapy
  • Injectable treatments
  • Laser or resurfacing procedures
  • Surgical scar revision in Dubai for deep or function-limiting scars

While scars cannot be removed completely, revision can make them less noticeable, smoother, and in some cases, improve movement when a scar is pulling on surrounding tissues.

CosmeSurge performs facial scar revision in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, addressing acne scars, injury-related scars, post-surgical marks, trauma scars, and burn scars.

Types of scars we treat

Every scar is unique, and the right approach depends on its size, location, and behaviour.

  • Discolouration & Surface Irregularities

Flat or uneven scars, acne marks, and stretch marks that disrupt skin tone and texture.

  • Hypertrophic Scars

Raised, firm scars that stay within the original wound boundary and may appear red.

  • Keloid Scars

Thick, rounded scars that extend beyond the original wound. They may be itchy or painful.

  • Contracture Scars

Tight, restricting scars are often caused by burns or deep injuries that limit movement.

CosmeSurge also provides scar revision for men in Dubai, commonly performed for facial scars from shaving injuries, sports trauma, or chest and body scars after surgery.

Who is a good candidate for scar revision

You may benefit from scar revision in Dubai or Abu Dhabi if you:

  • Have a mature scar (ideally 12–18 months old)
  • Have a raised, depressed, stretched, or discoloured scar
  • Feel self-conscious about a facial or body scar
  • Experience discomfort, itching, or restricted movement
  • Are in good overall health
  • Understand that the goal is improvement, not removal

During your consultation, your surgeon examines the scar, reviews your medical history, and discusses the best options tailored to your skin type and expectations.

Benefits of scar revision
  • Smoother, more even skin texture
  • Less visible edges or raised areas
  • Reduce redness or hyperpigmentation
  • Release of tight scars and improved movement
  • Improved confidence and comfort
Scar revision treatment options at CosmeSurge

  • Injectables

-Corticosteroid injections for hypertrophic and keloid scars

-Dermal fillers to improve sunken acne scars or pitted marks

  • Laser & Light-Based Therapies

-Stimulate collagen renewal, blend colour differences, and smooth scar edges.

  • Microneedling & Resurfacing

-Microneedling, chemical peels, or dermabrasion improve texture and surface irregularities.

2. Surgical Scar Revision

Recommended for thick, wide, distorted scars or scars that restrict movement.

  • Excision & Refinement

-Removing the old scar and closing the skin with precise plastic surgery techniques for a finer result.

  • Z-Plasty or W-Plasty

-Re-aligning the scar within natural skin creases to make it less visible and improve mobility.

  • Skin Grafts & Flaps

-Used when tissue is missing, especially in contracture scars after burns.

Additional resurfacing options include:

  • Chemical peel: A chemical solution gently lifts damaged skin layers. Best for mild facial scars.
  • Dermabrasion: Sanding away deeper layers to treat facial or body scars.
  • Dermaplaning: Shaving superficial layers to improve acne scar appearance.
  • Skin bleaching: Lightening agents reduce discoloration or pigmentation changes.

     

These techniques help improve tone, texture, and smoothness without the need for surgery.

We also offer male scar revision in Dubai for facial injuries, body scars, and post-surgical marks that affect confidence or comfort.

Your surgeon may combine surgery with silicone therapy, lasers, or injections for optimal healing.

Procedure & what to expect

During Consultation

Your surgeon assesses the scar and explains your treatment options, expected results, and recovery timeline.

On Treatment Day

Non-surgical procedures usually take under an hour. Surgical revision may require local or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity. 

Our specialists perform advanced scar revision Dubai treatment to improve scar texture, colour, and visibility.

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Minimal downtime for non-surgical treatments
  • Slight swelling or redness may occur
  • Surgical scars need careful care and protection from sun exposure
  • Scar remodelling continues for several months

Clear, personalised aftercare instructions are provided at every step.

Risks & precautions

Scar revision is safe when performed by experienced plastic surgeons. Possible risks include:

  • Redness or temporary swelling
  • Pigmentation changes
  • Infection or delayed healing (rare)
  • Possibility of scar recurrence, especially in keloids

CosmeSurge surgeons guide you through precautions to support smooth healing.

Scar revision cost in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Facial scar revision cost in Dubai and scar removal surgery cost in Dubai depend on:

  • Type and size of the scar
  • Whether surgery or non-surgical techniques are needed
  • Number of sessions (for lasers or injections)
  • Clinic location and surgeon expertise

A detailed treatment plan and transparent cost estimate are provided during your consultation.

Some patients combine scar revision with body contouring for more complete results.

Vaser Liposuction for Smoother Contours Around Scarred Areas

Vaser liposuction can be a practical addition to scar revision when contour irregularities or uneven fat layers make a scar more visible. 

Its ultrasound-assisted technology enables precise reshaping, resulting in a smoother and more balanced appearance of the treated area.

  • Helps refine uneven or irregular contours beneath or around old scars.
  • Uses ultrasound-assisted technology that targets fat while preserving surrounding tissues.
  • Useful for depressed scars, tethered scars, or areas where fat loss has created an imbalance.
  • Can be combined with scar revision surgery to improve symmetry and surface smoothness.
  • Offers quicker recovery compared with traditional liposuction.
