What is Scar Revision?
Scar Revision is a surgical or non-surgical process designed to improve the appearance of a scar. While no scar can be completely removed, revision techniques aim to make a scar less noticeable by:
- Changing the scar’s size, shape, or direction.
- Improving its color or texture.
- Releasing tight, restricting scars (contractures) that limit movement.
The procedure is highly individualized, requiring an expert plastic surgeon to analyze the scar’s characteristics, location, and the patient’s skin type.
Who is Scar Revision For? (Conditions Addressed)
Scar revision is ideal for patients bothered by:
- Hypertrophic Scars: Thick, raised scars that remain within the original wound boundaries.
- Keloid Scars: Raised, thick scars that grow beyond the original wound area (often requiring a combination of excision and adjuvant therapy).
- Widespread or Discolored Scars: Scars that are broad, red, or significantly contrast with the surrounding skin.
- Contractures: Scars that pull the skin tight, often limiting movement near joints (common after burns).
- Acne Scars: Severe, pitted, or rolling scars (often treated using a combination approach).
Specialized Scar Revision Techniques
Professor Dr. Foara Tasmim employs a range of advanced surgical and combined modalities to achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome for scar patients:
1. Surgical Scar Excision & Re-closure
The old scar is surgically removed, and the wound is closed using meticulous, multi-layered plastic surgery techniques to create a finer, less noticeable linear scar.
- Focus: Precision placement and tension-free closure to optimize healing.
2. Geometric Broken Line Closure (GBLC)
A complex technique used on long, straight scars where the scar is excised and the resulting wound edges are closed in a series of small, geometric shapes (like zig-zags).
- Benefits: Makes the final scar less conspicuous by breaking up the straight line, making it harder for the eye to follow.

3. Z-Plasty and W-Plasty
Surgical techniques used to change the direction or tension of a scar. Z-Plasty is particularly effective for releasing scar contractures and for redirecting scars to align with natural skin creases.
- Focus: Improving function and blending the scar with the surrounding skin topography.
4. Flaps and Tissue Expansion
For very large or severe scars (common after major trauma or burns), the procedure may involve replacing the scarred tissue with healthy, well-matched skin moved from another area.
- Focus: Reconstructive excellence to ensure function and aesthetic quality.
5. Adjunctive Non-Surgical Treatments
While Professor Tasmim performs the surgical revision, she often incorporates or refers patients for complementary treatments to further optimize the final appearance:
- Steroid injections (for keloids/hypertrophic scars).
- Microneedling.
- Laser recommendations.

Scar Revision FAQs
Can a scar be completely removed?
No, a scar is permanent. However, scar revision Dhaka aims to significantly minimize the scar’s visibility and prominence, making it less noticeable by improving its color, texture, and size.
What is the recovery time after surgical scar revision?
The initial wound healing typically takes 1-2 weeks. However, the final appearance of the scar takes much longer—often 6 to 18 months—as the body’s collagen remodels the tissue. Strict adherence to post-operative care and sun protection is critical during this time.
Does Professor Tasmim treat Keloid Scars?
Yes. Keloid scars are challenging and often require a combined approach. Treatment typically involves surgical excision followed immediately by adjuvant therapy, such as steroid injections or pressure garments, to prevent recurrence. This combined approach is key to effective cosmetic scar treatment in Bangladesh.
When is the best time to perform scar revision surgery?
Most surgeons recommend waiting until a scar has fully matured, which is usually 9 to 12 months after the original injury or surgery. This waiting period allows the scar to stabilize, making the outcome of the revision more predictable and long-lasting.
