Scar Improvement or Revision
What can I expect afterwards?

If you have had an operation, you may need to have stitches removed, as it is not always appropriate to use dissolving suture materials. The wound may be a little uncomfortable and simple pain killers are usually all that is required. You will be given an appointment to return for removal of the stitches and to see your consultant to monitor the progress of your scar.

If gels or special dressings have been recommended, then treatment tends to last three months or more. You will be given regular review appointments to assess your progress.
