Surgical correction can vary from simple re-excision, to
more complex rearrangement of the skin utilizing a technique
known as z-plasty to move the scar into a more favorable
location, along the natural lines of the body or face. Dermabrasion
can aid in blending the scar into surrounding skin, as contour is
paramount in achieving a cosmetically acceptable scar.

Post-surgical scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars, and contractures
are amenable to intervention, but time is always the best ally,
as many of these improve as the scar matures. At Suncoast Skin Solutions, we favor conservative approaches, but have the
expertise to treat all stages of scars.
