Surgery to improve the appearance of a prominent, wide, or restrictive scar.


Scar revision surgery improves the appearance of a scar that is wide, raised, tethered, or poorly positioned. The old scar is removed and the wound is closed carefully, sometimes using techniques such as a Z-plasty to reorient or release a tight scar.
The aim is to make a scar less noticeable or less restrictive, not to remove it entirely, since every incision leaves a scar. How a scar matures depends heavily on individual healing, so realistic expectations are essential.
It cannot remove a scar completely or guarantee how the new scar will heal, and it is not the best option for active keloid scars, which need a specific, cautious approach.
You will receive individualized instructions. The scar is assessed for its type, position, and behavior, the right technique is planned, and realistic outcomes are explained, including that a new scar will form.
The existing scar is removed and the wound is closed carefully, with techniques chosen to reduce tension and improve orientation. Where helpful, the scar is realigned with natural skin lines.
Mild swelling and tenderness are normal. Scar care, including support and sun protection, is important, and the new scar continues to mature and fade over twelve to eighteen months.
A less noticeable or less restrictive scar is often achievable. Revision cannot remove a scar entirely, cannot guarantee the final appearance, and may be combined with non-surgical scar treatments. Your surgeon explains what improvement is realistic.
Scar revision is generally low risk but still carries some risks. Possible risks include:
Individuals prone to keloid or thickened scars are assessed carefully, as surgery alone can sometimes worsen these, and a combined approach may be advised.
Reconstructive surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
Dr. Amoroso chooses scar revision technique based on the scar's specific cause and type, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand what is realistic, setting clear expectations about improvement rather than perfection.
