Scar Revision in Plano, TX

What is Scar REvision Surgery?

Scar revision involves a number of treatment options to alter and improve the appearance of a scar, such as injectable treatments or shave excision. Surgical scar treatment can improve the way scars look by changing the size, depth, or color. Dr. Ho and Dr. Brownlee minimize scars so that the area is more consistent with the surrounding skin tone. Although no scar can ever be completely erased, today’s scar treatments can result in a significantly less obvious mark. The most important step in the treatment of scars is a consultation with our doctors where he will work closely with you to find the best custom treatment plan to make your scar as smooth and invisible as possible.

how does scar revision surgery work?

Various types of scars call for different techniques. When scars arise from a problem with a previous surgery, the original incision can be reopened and the skin can be moved around to minimize the appearance of the scar. In some cases, the scar can be moved to a different location to make it less visible. With raised scars, dermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing procedures can be used to remove the upper layers of skin to make the scar smoother and more even with the rest of the face. Keloid scars, which are raised, can be surgically removed to improve the appearance. Depending on the type of scar and its condition, our team will use general or local anesthesia. The surgery is considered outpatient where the patient can return home the same day.

I recently turned 50 and have been noticing the dreaded signs of aging, including some sagging skin around my cheek and jaw area. This really bothered me and I decided it was time to do something about it! It was important to me to have natural looking results without changing my appearance too much and I definitely wasn’t ready to have really invasive surgery, like a facelift at this point in my life. I have been a patient of Dr. Ho’s for over 10 years so I completely trust him to recommend the right treatment options for the results I want. He is always very knowledgeable on current innovative techniques and discusses these options in detail with me. He and his staff truly go above and beyond to make their patients feel welcome and comfortable.After meeting with him for a consultation, he recommended a threading procedure that is called the Beyond Beautiful Instantlift. This was a perfect fit for me because it has no downtime, no scars and literally took 30-45 minutes in Dr. Ho’s office. I left immediately after my procedure and went to work with no one able to tell I had anything done!I absolutely LOVE the results of my Beyond Beautiful Instantlift and it has exceeded my expectations! It continues to improve over time and I am thrilled that I look natural and refreshed. I will continue to refer my family and friends to Dr. Ho/Beyond Beautiful because he always customizes a plan to fit my lifestyle and the outcome I desire! Thank you Dr. Ho for knowing exactly what I needed to help me look and feel my best!!!

A New Reflection - I received a CO2 Laser and a Controlled Depth Peel at the end of August 2017. I'll start with the initial consultation. I walked into the beautiful office and waited a very short period for my appointment. I had issues with acne scars and wanted to get rid of them. I spoke with the woman and was offered a few recommendations. I then explained that I wanted a procedure that was more of a "one and done" process to get rid of the scarring. Upon hearing this, she informed me of the combined laser and peel procedure. I would be swollen and very red for about 1-2 weeks, but I would only have to do the procedure once. This seemed appealing to me, so I asked if I could speak with the doctor and he was more than happy to give me a better explanation of the procedure, how it would affect my scars, and inform me of the healing time. The day of the procedure was pretty exciting. Because of my skin tone, I had to do a pre-treatment for a few weeks. I went in with my sister and was finished before I knew it. I didn't feel a thing. The staff was even helpful to walk me to my car. I came in the next day for my follow-up appointment and was treated very kindly. I was also reminded of the follow-up care I should be providing to my skin using the creams I was given -which was appreciated. The doctor and staff were always a phone call away when I needed anything, Sandy in particular. I've messaged the office quite a few times and Ms. Sandy is always, always super quick to respond. This leads me to my final point: the follow up visits. I really appreciate the follow up care the office provides. It's not just like you come back to the office two weeks after the procedure and you're done. They TRULY want to see how the results are coming along, which is special about them. Dr. Ho and Sandy are with me each time I go and it makes me feel taken care of. You're not in a cold office, but it's like they've welcomed you into their home and taken you under their wing. I can't wait until the healing process is completely finished. So much of my scarring has diminished and the doctor says my skin still has redness because it's rebuilding collagen. I'm thankful for my "new look". I used to get sad seeing all the marks on my face, but I'm actually happy to see my skin under different lighting now...It's a really good feeling. I'm thankful to God that there are procedures like this, and I'm thankful that there are friendly people like this to manage them.

Thrilled I had this surgery - I love my results - I am 49 years old and had developed droopy eyelids. I felt like I looked like I was about to fall asleep all of the time. I am thrilled I had this surgery. It was done in office. After the surgery, I never experienced any pain. I followed Dr. Ho's instructions and healed quickly. My stitches were taken out a week later and then I could cover my scars. But I drove and did many things starting a couple of days later with my sunglasses on. I really didn't need any of the pain medicine prescribed. I love my results and if I ever have any other procedures, I will go see Dr. Ho- he's fantastic.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Scar REvision?

The best candidates for facial scar revision surgery:

  • Have scars as a result of trauma, accident, previous surgery, or cancer
  • Have a loss of function, such as nerve damage
  • Have extensive cosmetic issues due to the appearance of the scar
  • Desire a long-term solution
  • Desire a natural look

What Can I Expect After Scar REvision Surgery?

After surgery, pain, discomfort, redness, swelling, and bruising can be expected. Stitches are usually removed in a week following surgery, if applicable. Strenuous exercises and activities will need to be avoided for the first week or so. In addition, patients should keep their head elevated while sleeping. There will be multiple follow-up appointments so the surgeon can ensure the treatment site is healing properly. It can take up to a full year or more for the scar to fully heal and for the patient to notice full results.
