Examples include acne\nscars and those resulting from minor injuries or prior surgeries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hypertrophic scars are comprised of thick clusters of scar\ntissue that develop over a wound site. They are usually raised, may cause some\ndiscomfort and are often red in appearance. They can widen over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keloids are larger and can be painful or itchy. They extend\nbeyond the dimensions of the original wound and can appear anywhere on your\nbody, but usually develop in areas with little underlying fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contractures occur where there is a significant amount of tissue\nloss, and are commonly found on burn victims. They restrict movement when skin\nand underlying tissue pull together during healing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scar Revision\nOptions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.entofathens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/scar-revision-58610-256x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1351\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Surface treatments are the most common type of scar revision, softening their appearance and reducing uneven pigmentation. Options include dermabrasion, laser therapy, and skin bleachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raised\nand depressed scars can both be dramatically minimized with injections. Soft\ntissue fillers can lift up sunken scars, while steroids and other immune\nmodulators placed in elevated scars can shrink them down over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nultimate goal of scar revision is to make the scar blend into the surrounding\nskin. The healing process continues as the scars gradually fade over time.\nResults are long-lasting or permanent, but it may take several months to a year\nbefore they are readily apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">ENT of Athens<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+17065467908\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(706) 546-7908<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scars are made of fibrous tissue and vary in size, shape, color and texture.
