Depending on the severity and location, he uses one or more surgical and non-surgical techniques to address the size, shape, color, depth, and location of the scar. He aims to reduce the scar\u2019s noticeability while avoiding further damage to the surrounding skin or the scar itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"panel panel-default\">   \r\n            <div class=\"panel-heading\">\r\n                <a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#qna_section\" href=\"#answer2\" class=\"question\">\r\n                    <div class=\"fa-plus-div\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\r\n                    <h4 class=\"panel-title\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n                            <span itemprop=\"name\">What procedures are available for scar revision?<\/span>\r\n                            <div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                                <meta itemprop=\"text\" content=\"noblecosmeticsurgery.com\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/span>\r\n                    <\/h4>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div id=\"answer2\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\">\r\n                <div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n                    <span itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several different procedures are used to treat scars. You\u2019ll start with a comprehensive skincare consultation to determine your needs and discuss your goals and how realistic they are given your particular situation. Dr. Obasi always begins with the least invasive option to treat your scars, progressing to surgical methods when necessary. He may use one or several of the following techniques:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Topical medications: Medicated ointments and bleaching creams reduce pigmentation<\/li>\n<li>CO2 laser resurfacing: Refines superficial scars and pigmentation irregularities<\/li>\n<li>Injectable medications: Special formulas reduce collagen production locally<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injectable dermal fillers: These products temporarily fill indentations (e.g. acne scars)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgical incision: Leaves only a discrete line that eventually disappears<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin grafting: Skin from another area of the body replaces dermal tissues<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"panel panel-default\">   \r\n            <div class=\"panel-heading\">\r\n                <a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#qna_section\" href=\"#answer3\" class=\"question\">\r\n                    <div class=\"fa-plus-div\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\r\n                    <h4 class=\"panel-title\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n                            <span itemprop=\"name\">What can I expect?<\/span>\r\n                            <div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                                <meta itemprop=\"text\" content=\"noblecosmeticsurgery.com\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/span>\r\n                    <\/h4>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div id=\"answer3\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\">\r\n                <div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n                    <span itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following your procedure, you may notice swelling, discomfort, or discoloration for up to two weeks. The scar or scars will continue to heal and fade in the weeks that follow. The purpose of scar revision surgery is to reduce the appearance of scars, but you might need multiple treatments or a combination of approaches over time to achieve results. Having realistic expectations is vital if you\u2019re considering scar revision treatment. After a scar revision procedure, following Dr. Obasi\u2019s aftercare instructions is extremely important. Good skincare habits keep your scars from worsening and prevent new scars from forming.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n  \/* FQA Section *\/\r\n#qna_section {\r\n    margin-top: 35px;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section.panel-group .panel {\r\n    margin-bottom: 15px;\r\n    border: none;\r\n    box-shadow: none;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading {\r\n    background-color: #870292;\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading a {\r\n    display: block;\r\n    position: relative;\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    padding-left: 20px;\r\n    text-transform: uppercase;\r\n    text-decoration: none !important;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading a .fa-plus-div {\r\n    display: inline-block;\r\n    position: absolute;\r\n    text-align: center;\r\n    border-radius: 100%;\r\n    padding: 0;\r\n    margin: 0;\r\n    font-size: 18px;\r\n    right: 0;\r\n    top: -7px;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading a h4 {\r\n    font-size: 18px;\r\n    letter-spacing: .5px;\r\n    padding-right: 18px;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-collapse {\r\n    background: #f5f9f9;\r\n    }\r\n\/* ##END -  FQA Section *\/\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scars can be lifelong reminders of illnesses, injuries, and other traumatic events.
