Chicago Scar Revision by Dr. David Dreyfuss
When you undergo a surgical procedure, get into an accident, or injure yourself, scarring is one way your body tries to repair itself. While scarring is a natural and healthy process, the effects can often be unwelcome or embarrassing. In some situations, scars can also cause issues such as pain, itchiness, or restricted movement.
If your scars keep you from feeling comfortable in your skin due to aesthetic or functional issues, scar removal surgery can resolve these concerns, boost your self-image, and enhance your appearance.
At Dreyfuss Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Dreyfuss applies different scar removal techniques to make your scar less prominent and intrusive. After assessing the appearance, texture, color, and positioning of your scars, Dr. Dreyfuss uses his skills as a scar revision specialist to devise a personalized scar treatment plan.

What Is Scar Repair?
Scar surgery makes scars less noticeable, simultaneously resolving functional and aesthetic concerns. Dr. Dreyfuss can employ various advanced scar repair methods according to your specific needs.
When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, scar treatment options can significantly minimize scars that do not respond to non-surgical methods. This cosmetic surgery enhances your appearance, elevates your confidence, and frees you to show off parts of your body that previously made you feel self-conscious. If you experience issues like pain, tightness, or itchiness, scar surgery can also resolve these concerns.
As a scar revision specialist, Dr. Dreyfuss takes time to understand your concerns about your scars and physically analyze the scarring itself. From there, he designs a detailed plan for safe and effective ways to lessen your scars’ severity and appearance.
Your customized approach might include concealing longer scars in nearby skin folds, excising the old scar tissue and reshaping the surrounding skin, or using skin grafts to repair the area. In other cases, non-surgical procedures like microneedling, laser skin resurfacing, and microdermabrasion can minimize less conspicuous or bothersome scars.
To ensure you have realistic expectations, Dr. Dreyfuss will carefully explain what’s possible with surgical scar treatment, what results are attainable, and the method he will use to remodel your scars.
