No matter what your scar looks like or how it originated, there’s a chance that scar revision surgery might be a great option for you.  However, ensuring that your timing is accurate is important, as your body may still be healing after your surgery or accident.

Immediately following wound healing, a scar is usually red in appearance and is referred to as an ‘immature’ scar. Between 3 months and 2 years the scar should become paler, flatter, and softer and can then be referred to as a ‘mature’ scar. To help your scar mature it is recommended that you massage and moisturise your scar. All scars should be monitored carefully and if your scar becomes a problem contact your doctor or occupational therapist.
