Scaring is the body's natural response to injury. Scars will always go through a process of change. Sometimes scars get stuck in a phase of inflammation which can lead to poorer aesthetic looking scars.

There are some situations where surgery can improve the appearance of a scar, however surgery can never fully remove the presence of a scar.
Anyone with a large unsightly scar where reconstructive plastic surgery may improve the scar's appearance:
Keyloid scar
Hypertrophic scar
With scar revision surgery you are replacing one scar for hopefully a better scar.
In terms of how the new scar will heal and fade over time, everyone is different and the appearance will depend on skin tone, elasticity and how your skin heals. Careful post-operative management can help improve the result as well as daily scar self-massage.

While most patients experience no significant complications, potential risks include:
Working at top teaching hospitals and private hospitals across London, easily accessible from Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge stations, including a new clinic at Battersea Power Station.
