Surgical Scars: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
Minimise the appearance of surgical scars with advanced treatments at Elevate Medical Aesthetics. Let us help you restore smoother, more confident skin.
What Are Surgical Scars?
Surgical scars are a natural result of the body’s healing process after surgery. While they vary in size, shape, and colour depending on the procedure and individual healing factors, these scars can impact confidence and self-esteem.
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics, we specialise in advanced treatments to minimise the appearance of surgical scars, including those from hysterectomies, c-sections, and liposuctions, helping you restore confidence and enhance your natural beauty.
Symptoms of Surgical Scarring
Visible lines or indentations on the skin.
Variations in texture, such as raised or indented areas.
Discolouration, including redness or hyperpigmentation.
Itching or sensitivity in the scarred area.
Causes of Surgical Scarring
Surgical Incisions: Healing from surgical cuts leads to scar tissue formation.
Individual Healing Factors: Genetics, age, and skin type influence scar appearance.
Infection or Delayed Healing: Complications during recovery can exacerbate scarring.
Sun Exposure: UV rays can darken and worsen the appearance of scars during the healing process.
