Scar tissue forms as a remnant of physical injury in your body. They are lifelong and do not fade with time on their own. Having prominent scar tissue in specific areas of the body can impact your body positivity and confidence. Through a range of reconstructive surgery techniques, it is possible to reduce the degree of their presence. The overall goal of scar revision is to mask the appearance of your scar to blend in with the skin and tissue surrounding it.
Scar tissue can also greatly vary depending on what caused your injury, the timeline since the injury, and your healing factor, among other aspects. Your scar treatment in Kuwait may be through topical medication or surgical methods, depending on your scar’s dimensions. Your plastic surgeon in Kuwait will conduct a complete profiling of your specific scar tissue to assess possible routes of reconstruction. At every stage, your reconstructive specialist will inform you of the process, what results you can expect, and the best practices for scar revision recovery.
