Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury (such as an accident) or surgery. Depending on the extent of the surgery, scar revision can be done while you are awake (local anesthesia), sleeping (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia).
A scar is a manifestation of the skin's healing process. After skin or tissue is wounded, the body releases collagen to mend the damage. Collagen, a protein, reattaches the damaged skin.As the wound heals, a temporary crust forms and covers it. The crust is a scab that protects the damaged area.ontracture scars are caused by the loss of a large section of skin due to burns or other injury. The scar contracts or tightens around the wound. This contraction could impact a person's mobility. If the scar deepens, it could affect muscles and nerves.
