Surgical Scar Revision in St. Petersburg, FL
What Is Surgical Scar Revision?
Surgical scar revision is a targeted procedure that improves the look of scars by surgically adjusting their size, shape, or texture. Using techniques like excision, tissue repositioning, or layered closure, our surgeons help scars blend more naturally with surrounding skin. Each treatment is tailored to the scar’s unique features, ensuring the best possible aesthetic outcome. The result is less prominent, smoother skin that enhances your appearance and emotional well-being.
