Surgical Scar Correction

When scars are numerous, extensive, or of various origins—from surgery, trauma, acne, or burns—they require an individualized, often multi-stage approach. Surgical scar correction can significantly reduce their visibility, smooth the skin's surface, and improve its elasticity.

Surgical Scar Correction

Scar revision is a surgical procedure that involves excising or reshaping an existing scar and precisely re-suturing the tissue to achieve a more aesthetic and less visible result. At Luna Clinic, we understand how important the appearance of scars after transition surgery is – it is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of accepting one's own body. That is why the procedure is performed by Dr. Aleksandra Łuniewska – a plastic surgery specialist with extensive experience and a unique approach to transgender people, known for her empathy and ability to listen to patients.

  • Unrealistic expectations regarding the effect

Effects of the treatment

A facelift significantly improves the contour of the jaw and neck, reduces sagging skin and deep wrinkles, ensuring a younger, fresher, but natural appearance. The effect lasts for an average of 8–12 years. Skin aging will continue, but the face will look much younger than without the procedure. An individual approach allows the scope and technique to be adjusted to achieve the most harmonious result.

The course of the procedure

Performed under local anesthesia, it usually takes 30–60 minutes.

The surgeon cuts out the old scar with a margin of healthy skin and sutures the tissues layer by layer with the utmost precision.

Upon request or indication – possibility of sending a sample for histopathological examination

The patient returns home the same day.

Recovery and post-treatment recommendations:

Sutures removed after 7–14 days (depending on location)

Dressings changed as directed by the doctor

The scar should be protected from the sun for at least 6 months.

After healing – massage and preparations supporting scar maturation according to the doctor's recommendations

Avoid stretching the operated area for at least 2 weeks.

Check-ups: after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months

Possible complications and risks:

Hematoma or bleeding requiring drainage

Infection requiring antibiotic therapy

Transient or rarely persistent sensory disturbances in the face or auricle

Hypertrophic or discolored scars – minimized thanks to precise suturing techniques

Asymmetry requiring correction

Prolonged swelling or bruising

Unsatisfactory aesthetic result requiring possible reoperation
