Treatment Overview

Preventing an unnecessary or poorly positioned scar is part of every procedure Dr. Smith performs. Gentle tissue handling, careful incision placement, and meticulous plastic-surgery closure help scars blend with nearby natural lines and structures as they heal.

Scars from an injury, a prior procedure, acne, or a body modification can require a different approach. Dr. Smith evaluates the scar type, surrounding tissue, prior treatment, and the patient's goals before recommending a plan.

How scar revision is planned
  • Raised, irregular, depressed, pitted, widened, or poorly positioned scars may each require a different treatment method.
  • The size, shape, age, location, skin type, and cause of the scar all help determine the recommended approach.
  • Scar revision can improve a scar, but no procedure can erase a scar completely. Some concerns respond best to a combination of treatments.
Scar revision techniques
  • Steroid injections may be used for selected raised or thick scars.
  • Laser resurfacing and dermabrasion can help soften surface irregularities, blend scar edges, and improve texture.
  • Surgical excision removes selected scar tissue so the area can be repaired with careful plastic-surgery closure.
  • The treatment plan may use one technique or combine several methods over time.
Tattoos, piercings, and keloids
  • Specialized lasers may lighten some tattoos, but results and cost can vary with tattoo color, size, location, and previous removal attempts.
  • For selected tattoos, excision and plastic closure may be considered when laser removal is limited or impractical.
  • Ear piercings can lead to keloids in patients who are prone to raised scarring. Because keloids may return after simple removal, Dr. Smith may recommend added treatments before or after excision to reduce recurrence risk.
Torn earlobes and gauge repair
  • Heavy earrings, trauma, or stretched piercings can split or lengthen the earlobe opening.
  • Large gauges can leave a tissue defect that requires individualized reconstruction.
  • Many torn or stretched earlobes can be repaired in the office to restore a more natural ear shape.
Acne scar treatment
  • Active acne should be controlled before beginning a corrective scar plan.
  • For pitted or uneven acne scars, Dr. Smith may recommend CO2 laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, or a combination of the two.
  • Multiple treatments may be needed, and improvement develops as the treated skin heals and remodels.
What to expect after treatment
  • Recovery depends on whether the plan involves injections, resurfacing, surgical repair, or a combination of treatments.
  • Surgical repairs may use surface sutures that require removal and deeper sutures that dissolve over time.
  • Dr. Smith will provide wound-care, activity, and follow-up instructions based on the exact procedure performed.
  • Scars continue to mature and refine for months, so the final result is not immediate.
