Return To Plastic Surgery Article Archive   Can Plastic Surgery Get Rid of Scars? Erase Your Scars With Plastic Surgery Today By Dr. Jim Greene Every person would like to have a blemish free body, a body free of any type of scars or imperfections. But sometimes there are scars. They may be birthmarks or may be due to some injury. Scars can be left after a severe burn by fire or acid, it can be due to acne or pimples, and it can be due to tattoos. While no scar can be completely erased, plastic surgery can definitely make the scar seem less visible, or lighter or improved. There are different types of treatment for scars. While creams and lotions, direct injections into the scars or some medication may seem to improve the scar; plastic surgery can definitely do a good job of it. Birthmarks can be red or pink or blue which sometimes grow bigger with age. They can turn itchy or thickened. Some may fade away after a certain period of time. But those that don't go away can be treated by surgical procedures by an experienced plastic surgeon. Injuries leave scars on the body. They may become lighter with the passage of time but they can also become thick or red or itchy. They can be controlled by plastic surgery. Burn scars look awful but under an experienced plastic surgeon they can be made to look a lot better. Grafting can minimize the scars. Sometimes operations leave behind scars. Plastic surgeons use fine stitches, which dissolve. They also have special techniques to stitch the wound so after healing the scar becomes thin and faint and may disappear with time. Tattoos on the body were the height of fashion some time back. Tattoos are color pigments injected into the body, which leave a permanent design, which, in later years, may look like scars once the fashion has changed. Plastic surgery can also remove tattoos and make the skin look smooth and clean. Scars are unpredictable; they can suddenly become big and ugly or disappear suddenly. The way it develops depends on the healing power of a person's body or on the surgeon's skills. The severity of scarring depends on the blood supply to the area, the size and depth of the wound, the thickness and color of the skin and the direction of the scar. Plastic surgery involves cutting the scar, treating it, and suturing it with fine stitches so that they look like a fine line when healed. This line is not very visible and can make the person feel better. There are many types of scar correction through plastic surgery. The end result is definitely satisfying to the patient even though the scar may not have gone away totally.
