Reveal the Benefits with Scar Revision
Scar Revision is more than just a cosmetic fix; it’s a pathway to renewed self-confidence and a more positive self-image. Dr. Rubinstein in Newburgh, NY, masterfully employs various techniques to significantly enhance the appearance of facial scars, transforming not just your skin, but also how you feel about yourself.
Scar Revision – The Surgery
There are a variety of techniques which may be used for scar revision including excision, punch grafting, soft tissue augmentation, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and dermabrasion. With excision techniques, the scar tissue is removed and the incision is closed. Punch grafting, which is often used for deep acne scarring, involves the removal of the scar tissue and then either replacing or suturing closed the remaining tissue. Soft tissue augmentation involves injections of collagen, fat or other fillers to plump up depressed scars. Skin resurfacing techniques like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermabrasion remove the upper layers of scarred tissue to soften the appearance of the scar and make it less visible.
Ideal Candidates for Scar Revision

After Scar Revision Surgery: What to Expect
The recovery following scar revision will depend on the particular technique used. There is little to no downtime following soft tissue augmentation and microdermabrasion.

The recovery process following scar revision surgery is overseen by experienced plastic surgeons or board-certified dermatologists, offering comprehensive care from initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups. Patients receive support tailored to their needs, whether for cosmetic enhancement or functional improvement of previously injured areas. Throughout recovery, typical symptoms like discomfort, swelling, and redness are managed, with advanced techniques like laser scar revision addressing various scar types such as depressed acne scars or hypertrophic scars.

Real patient stories offer encouragement, emphasizing the importance of patience and adherence to post-surgery care for optimal outcomes, including improved appearance and confidence, leading to enhanced quality of life.
Potential Complications of Brow Lift
Although a brow lift is generally considered to be safe, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications involved. Some of these include infection, scarring, and numbness of the skin around the incisions. It’s important to note that a brow lift may also cause aesthetic changes in the appearance of your eyes that could take time to adjust to. However, Dr Rubinstein takes great care to ensure the safety of all patients and works with each individual to ensure optimal results.
