Scar Revision Surgery

Long-standing scars,
made less noticeable.

#Scars from accidents and surgery
#Burn, self-harm, and post-cosmetic-surgery scars

Scar Revision

We don't erase scars.
We make them smaller and less noticeable.

Scar revision is more than cutting a scar out. It takes a plan tailored to your skin.
We assess the scar's size, width, depth, direction, and the surrounding skin to create a more natural, less visible result.

Scar Causes
Trauma, surgery, burns & more
Scar Shape Analysis
Width, direction, and depth
Post-Surgery Scar Care
Support through recovery and beyond

What Kind of Scar Do You Have?

Scars look and feel different depending on how they formed.

※ Keloid and hypertrophic scars may need non-surgical treatment, alone or alongside surgery, depending on the condition.

Trauma Scars

Scars from accidents

Falls, lacerations, car accidents,
and other injuries
Surgical Scars

Scars left after surgery

C-section, thyroid, abdominal surgery,
and other incisions
Cosmetic Surgery Scars

Scars from aesthetic procedures

Eyelid, nose, breast, facelift,
and other incision sites
Burn Scars

Scars from burns

Changes in color, texture, and tightness
depending on burn depth
Self-Harm Scars

Repeated linear scars

Multiple line-shaped scars
on the arms, wrists, and elsewhere
Keloid & Hypertrophic Scars

Thick, raised scars

Excess scar tissue that formed
during healing

Shape Of Scar

Even scars from the same cause look different.

What matters as much as the cause is how the scar looks now.
We look at both how it formed and what it looks like today.

Wide scars where the wound spread apart
Depressed scars that sit below the surrounding skin
Raised scars thicker than the surrounding skin
Contracted scars that pull on the surrounding skin
Scars with an uneven surface or direction
Long scars that run against natural skin lines

We look beyond the scar itself,
to how it blends with
the surrounding skin.

Simply cutting out a scar doesn't always give the best result.
We consider the scar's location and direction, skin thickness,
and the tension and laxity of the surrounding skin.

At WOORI Plastic Surgery, we plan each surgery to leave
a scar that's less prominent and blends naturally with the surrounding skin.

When Is Scar Revision
Right for You?

The scar has widened
The scar sits deeper than the surrounding skin
A long, straight scar is easy to notice
The scar runs against natural skin lines or creases
The scar pulls and distorts the surrounding skin
An irregular scar remains after past surgery or suturing

Scar Revision Methods

Different scars call for different techniques.

Simple Excision

Removes the existing scar tissue and carefully
re-sutures the surrounding skin to narrow the scar.

Best for

Linear scars, widened scars, surgical scars
Serial Excision

For scars too large to remove at once,
the scar is reduced gradually over several procedures,
with set intervals in between.

Best for

Large scars, scars with limited skin laxity
Z-Plasty

Repositions the skin in a "Z" pattern
to change the scar's direction and release skin tension.

Best for

Contracture scars, pulling scars,
scars that need redirection
W-Plasty

Breaks up a long, straight scar
into multiple directions so it's less visible.

Best for

Long, straight scars; linear scars on the face

※ The actual surgical method may vary depending on the scar's location, size, and the condition of the surrounding skin.

WOORI Scar Reduction System

From your first consultation
to post-surgery care.

Scar Cause &
Condition Assessment

We review when and how
the scar formed, plus its size,
depth, and direction.
Surrounding Skin &
Tissue Analysis

We assess skin laxity, tension,
and the tissue around the scar.
Surgical Planning

We plan the right approach:
excision, serial excision,
Z/W-plasty, and more.
Scar Excision & Re-Suturing

We refine the scar tissue
and re-suture with the surrounding skin
and tissue in mind.
Post-Surgery Scar Care

We monitor your recovery and,
if needed, follow up
with scar laser treatment.

Scar Timing

When is the best time
for scar surgery?

A fresh scar changes over time.
Redness, firmness, and shape all shift as it matures.
We review when the scar formed, its current condition,
location, and cause, then decide the right time to treat.

An older scar isn't too late to treat.
Start with an assessment of your scar's current condition.

Surgery Or Laser?

Which treatment is right for your scar?

From Wound To Scar

From the moment of injury
to long after the scar has formed.

Healing doesn't mean treatment is over.
WOORI Plastic Surgery's Wound & Scar Center
treats it all as one continuous process,
from wound closure right after injury to the scar left after recovery.

Why WOORI Scar Reduction

Cause-Based Analysis

We start by identifying the cause:
trauma, burn, or surgery.
Shape-Based Planning

We consider width, depth, and direction,
plus the tension of the surrounding skin.
Multiple Surgical Options

No one-size-fits-all.
We plan the surgery your scar
actually needs.
Laser Follow-Up Care

If redness or texture remains after surgery,
scar laser can be added as needed.
Plastic Surgical Closure

We refine the scar tissue, then re-suture it
to blend with the surrounding skin.
One Center, Wound to Scar

Wound closure, scar revision surgery,
and scar laser, all in one center.
