Scar Correction

Scars occur after injuries, inflammation, or intentional procedures (minor or major surgeries). The tissue is replaced by fiber-rich connective tissue. How visible a scar becomes depends on various factors: skin type, location, suturing technique, and individual wound healing. With unfavorable stress or genetic predisposition, conspicuous scars (such as keloids) can develop. In plastic aesthetic surgery, scar management is a central part of daily work. With modern techniques, it is possible to make scars as inconspicuous as possible, nearly invisible. These scars are placed along natural skin lines and folds, for example in the hairline, in front of the ear, or directly in the lower lid fold.
