What does scar revision or reconstruction surgery consist of?

• Topical treatments: silicone gel or gel sheeting can be used to promote healing. Serums and creams can be effective in camouflaging scars.
woman • Minimally invasive treatment: steroid injections can flatten hypertrophic or keloid scars. Dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, chemical peels can even out texture or depth irregularities. Bleaching creams can diminish color differences.
• Subcision: scars that adhere to the underlying layers of the skin can be released by cutting the connections between the scar and deeper layers. A technique of subcision and suction can be used to cut and lift the scar to prevent the connection between the scar and deeper layers from reforming. Dermal fillers or one’s own fat with fat transfer can be used to plump up and fill depressed tissues.
man • Surgical reconstruction: extensive or deeper scars may require more complex reconstructive plastic procedure. Excision, undermining, skin grafts, pharmaceutical tissue substitutes, tissue expanders, or complex tissue closures may be required to conceal scars.

A combination of two or more of the above techniques may be necessary to maximize scar camouflage. Although scar revision can provide a more pleasing cosmetic result or improve a scar that has healed poorly, a scar cannot be completely erased.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.

if thereâ€™s one place to get any sort of work done on you itâ€™s here. dr. Zemplenyi was so helpful, tedious, and understanding when it came to my lip fillers. i also loved how honest he was when it came to suggesting other work done! overall, iâ€™m really satisfied with my results!!

Dr Z is very patient and explains everything in detail, didnâ€™t get a surgery there but did do consults for face, body and he was amazing, works with you to morph the pics to show you what your end result potentially look like

So far I have only had a consultation, but highly recommend! Dr. Zemplenyi's attention to detail is superb. He thoroughly explained all aspects of such an important potential procedure and I could feel how experienced he was in the way he explained everything before I even had the chance to ask. I've seen several other doctors and he is the only one that described procedures in full detail; from where you're currently at, to what needs to happen and also the risks involved.

Highly recommend going to Ann for any botox/filler. Sheâ€™s very conservative and explains each step throughout the process which is very comforting especially for those who donâ€™t like needles. I love the shape and fullness she provided for my lips. Will definitely be back for touch ups!

Dr. Z is a miracle worker. He laughs when I say this but itâ€™s true! After having 2 botched rhinoplasties with a different plastic surgeon in Seattle, Dr. Z was highly recommended to me for his knowledge, experience, care, compassion and his amazing surgical skills. It was also comforting to be validated for the issues that remained. The issues were rectified under local anesthesia in an in office procedure and I am thrilled with the results! I have complete faith and trust in Dr. Z!

I went In to see Ann regarding Botox and I couldnâ€™t have made a better choice. She was thorough and explained how I could benefit from Botox in great detail. She made me feel at ease throughout the entire procedure and gave advice for follow-up care. I will definitely be back to see Ann in about four months for a touchup! If youâ€™re apprehensive, nervous about Botox or any other facial treatments, please be reassured because Ann is simply the best!

Ann is the go to for any type of injections, Botox etc, she listens to all your needs/wants and makes sure the finished product is perfect. Would never trust anyone else with my face; she is the best!

Where do I begin? Dr Z is absolutely amazing. I have nothing negative to say. He went above and beyond my expectations! He is honest and super funny, makes you feel so calm. He is a gifted surgeon and I canâ€™t recommend him enough! I canâ€™t wait to have more done! After my surgery, Dr Z answered every call and text. Truly dedicates his time to his patients. He is a miracle worker and completely changed my life! Thank you Dr. Z so much for everything, you are the best of the best without a doubt!
