Scar Revision

Facial scars can be devastating to one's self image. A skilled facial plastic surgeon can minimize facial scars and make them much less noticeable through a number of surgical techniques including careful excision of existing scars, new placement of scar lines, shifting of surrounding tissues and skin grafting.

Who can better understand facial structure, musculature, and healing than a facial plastic surgeon? Dr. Alford has extensive experience in all aspects of facial surgery. His goal in scar revision surgery is to replace an unsightly or disfiguring scar with one that is fine-lined, level with the surrounding surface, will heal to approximately the same color as the adjacent skin, and will causes no distortion or pull on the surrounding structures.

While scar revision surgery will not erase facial scarring, it can render a much-improved scar that is almost invisible and virtually imperceptible.
