What Is Scar Revision?
At North Mississippi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, scar revision surgery may be performed to help improve the appearance of scars, whether they are the result of surgery, injury, or other factors. Scar revision aims to mask the appearance of scars by removing or redistributing them to follow natural skin lines, making them less noticeable. In addition, treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels can smooth the scar tissue and promote tighter skin. This procedure not only enhances the look of the scar but also helps improve your confidence, giving you smoother, more even skin. Contact us in Tupelo, Corinth, or Southaven, MS today to discuss how scar revision can help you feel more confident in your appearance.
How Is Scar Revision Performed?
Scar revision is typically performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the size and location of the scar. During the procedure, we will carefully remove the existing scar tissue, taking care to minimize further damage to the surrounding skin. The wound is then redirected and closed with sutures to blend seamlessly with the natural skin lines. Depending on the complexity, the revision may also involve the use of lasers or other treatments to smooth and refine the skin's appearance. After the surgery, you can expect some redness and swelling, which may last for several months. Sutures are usually removed 5 – 7 days post-procedure. To promote healing and prevent pigmentation changes, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure for at least six months following the surgery.

The staff is excellent. Thank you!!
Absolutely wonderful. Great customer service as well.
My son’s experience getting his wisdom teeth out was fantastic! We went in for a consult and same day surgery. We received all the information needed to care for his teeth and understand his prescriptions. The surgery( to remove 4 teeth) was very quick! I will definitely be using them again for my other children.
Dr. Chrisman has been my oral surgeon for decades. Everyone in the office is great!
