Pratap Hospital offers advanced scar revision surgery in Vijayawada to help improve the appearance of scars and restore skin smoothness and confidence. Scar revision aims to minimize the visibility of scars caused by injuries, surgeries, burns, or acne, making them blend naturally with the surrounding skin.
Our expert plastic surgeon, Dr. Pratap Duggirala, uses cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical techniques to treat all types of scars — hypertrophic, keloid, contracture, and acne scars — ensuring optimal cosmetic and functional results.
Scar revision can significantly improve skin texture and appearance. Although it may not completely erase a scar, it can make it less noticeable and restore smoother, more natural-looking skin.
During consultation, the surgeon evaluates the scar type, size, color, and skin texture. Medical history and previous treatments are reviewed to choose the best method of revision.
The surgeon explains various treatment options — surgical excision, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, or injections — and what results can realistically be expected.
Avoid smoking, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications before surgery. Keep the treatment area clean and protected from sun exposure.
Proper pre-surgical preparation ensures a safe and successful outcome with minimal complications.
At Pratap Hospital, different techniques are used for scar improvement based on scar characteristics, location, and severity:

Healing time varies depending on the method used. Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks, with visible improvements continuing over several months as the skin remodels.
