Scars and Post-Traumatic Deformities

Every surgery leaves a permanent mark in the form of a scar. If an aesthetically acceptable scar is achieved, in most cases it does not pose a problem for the patient. Trauma, burns or cancer-related surgeries leave scars that cause a significant aesthetic and functional deficiency.

Using various surgical techniques, a plastic surgeon can correct the appearance and functionality lost due to trauma.
Depending on the age of the patient and the scope of the procedure, it may be performed under general or local anaesthesia.
