Facial scarring often occurs when skin has been damaged, due to a trauma, burn, acne, infection, or previous surgery and may result in wide or depressed scars, hypertrophic scars or keloids. When a facial scar develops it is permanent and can have profound psychological and emotional impacts. However, when it is revised with reconstructive surgery, it can be made to be less noticeable.

Most people who suffer from facial scarring are often very insecure about their facial abnormality. In some cases, facial scars can distort or limit the functioning of normal structures including: the lips, brows, nose, and eyes.

Is Scar Revision Right For You?

There are many factors involved in scar revision surgery. One must take a person’s age, skin type, the placement, and the nature of the scar into consideration. Most people find bad facial scarring unsightly and very unattractive mainly because they are so visible. In many cases, facial scarring may affect facial expressions including: smiling, blinking, and eyelid or brow function.

It is important to note that every facial scar is different. Some patients may require more than one scar revision procedure to correct facial scarring. In addition, facial scarring requires meticulous plastic surgery techniques. Also, the timing of surgery is imperative with most scars revised after 9 to 12 months.

Most patients that experience facial injuries are often told to wait at least 12 months after the injury to allow sufficient healing time and scar maturation. During your initial consultation, we will determine which treatment is appropriate for your particular facial scarring. The following are common facial scar revision procedures we currently offer our patients:

Dermabrasion
Laser Therapy
W-Plasty
Z-Plasty
Direct excision

I had an average sized mole removed that was half way in my eye brow. I’m 6-months post surgery and I’m BLOWN AWAY at the results!! I was amazed 1-month post surgery. It looks as if there was nothing ever there! I had another mole (same size) removed by another facial plastic surgeon and the incision was much longer. Dr Strong’s incision was incredibly small and precise. He cut at a perfect angle to preserve my hair growth on my eye brown. Dr. Strong does charge more than most, BUT it’s you face and it wasn’t something I wanted to gamble with. I will never let another surgeon touch my face. Dr. Strong clearly has the golden hands!

Three weeks ago, four days before a large party to celebrate my 20th anniversary and 50th birthday, I went to my dermatologist to get a “small” basil cell carcinoma removed from the end of my nose. The spot in question was only a couple of millimeters in diameter, so I assumed that was about what they would remove. The Mohs surgery was scheduled for 8am, so I thought I would be back at work before lunch with a couple of stiches. After the second pass, they got all of the cancer, but I was left with a hole at the end of my nose a little larger than a nickel. The dermatologist did not think a simple skin graft would yield a satisfactory result and referred me to Dr. Stong. Dr. Stong worked me in that same afternoon and rebuilt my nose using some cartilage from my ear and folding down a skin flap from the bridge of my nose. He worked me in again the day before the party and fixed my ear where it was barely noticeable so the party was able to go forward with only a band aid on my nose. Two days later, he removed the stiches from my nose. While I still have a little swelling, and I’m following his instructions to reduce/prevent scarring, I’m amazed at the result he was able to achieve. I am confident that in the end, no one will ever guess I had such a large chunk of my nose missing. I am very glad that Dr. Stong is as skilled as he is, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

My wound from Mohs surgery opened up and exposed the skull, the Dermatologist sent me to Dr. Stong to have it closed. I went with no appointment, when I got there I was taken almost immediately, the wound was closed in about an hour. and I was on my way. Dr. Stong and his staff are professional and personable. They give you the feeling that they will solve your problem with skill and efficiency, and then they do just that. I went back a week later, the staples were removed and everything was fine. This experience could not have gone better.

My experience with Dr. Stong was great. Recently suffered some injuries in a biking accident and was very concerned about scarring. The work Dr. Stong did to fix my wounds and prevent scarring was quite simply amazing!

Katie Bridgers

I am so pleased with the work that Dr. Stong did for me. I had to get some skin cancer removed below the side of my nose and he came highly recommended by my dermatologist. His work was so detailed and intricate that I do not see my scar anymore! He told me to be patient, but even after 3 months, no one could tell that I had surgery to have the spot removed. My follow up appointments were easy and he was so nice and considerate of how I wanted it to look. Which I am so pleased now that you cannot see where the incision was. His entire office is full of wonderful people who want to help you. I highly recommend Dr. Stong and his team! They were phenominal!
