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).
Scars are a natural part of the body's healing process. A scar results from the biologic process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues. Most wounds, except for very minor ones, result in some degree of scarring.Scars can result from accidents, diseases, skin conditions such as acne, or surgeries. Although it will not remove a scar, surgery can be used to alter a scar's shape or make it less noticeable. 2  Surgery is not recommended in cases of hypertrophic or keloid scarring (raised scars) because there is a risk of recurring scars as well as more severe scarring that results from the treatment. 3  Steroid injections.
