If a scar is bothering you, you don’t have to accept it.
Scars from surgery, injury, or a past skin condition don't always fade the way you'd hope, and some become more noticeable over time rather than less. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons experienced in reconstructive techniques, we bring the same precision to scar revision in Jackson, MS, that we bring to any surgical result.
Scar revision is a procedure that improves the appearance of an existing scar, using techniques that may include surgical excision, skin grafting, or other methods depending on the scar's size, depth, and location. The goal isn't to erase a scar entirely, since that isn't typically possible, but to make it flatter, less noticeable, or more in line with the surrounding skin.
Scar revision in Flowood, MS, is a good option for patients bothered by the appearance of a scar from past surgery, injury, or a skin condition, particularly if the scar is raised, discolored, or restricts movement. During your consultation, we'll evaluate the scar's characteristics and your goals to recommend the most appropriate technique.

Depending on the scar, techniques may include surgical excision, skin grafting, or other approaches. We'll recommend the right option during your consultation.
This depends on the scar, but we generally recommend allowing sufficient time for initial healing, often a year or more, before pursuing revision, since scars can continue to improve on their own during that time.
Discomfort varies by technique, but most patients manage it well with local anesthesia or standard pain management following more involved procedures.
This varies by technique, ranging from a short recovery for less involved procedures to a longer healing process for more extensive revisions.
Scar revision improves a scar's appearance but doesn't make it disappear entirely. We'll discuss realistic expectations for your specific scar during your consultation.
This depends on the reason for the scar and the specific procedure. Scars resulting from a medically necessary surgery or injury are more likely to be covered than purely cosmetic revisions. We can help you understand what applies to your situation.
