Scar RepairScar revision surgery along with non-surgical scar resurfacing treatments can address scars on the face or neck, offering a chance to minimize their appearance, improve any physical discomfort and restore a more natural look. Whether your scars are the result of trauma, surgery, or skin conditions such as acne, at The J. Parry Clinics for Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Cleveland and Columbus Ohio, Dr. Jim Parry combines expert surgical skill and advanced laser and other skin rejuvenation treatments to provide advanced facial scar repair.

As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with fellowship training, Dr. Parry creates personalized treatment plans to improve both form and function—whether you’re seeking cosmetic improvement or relief from painful, raised scars.

What Is Scar Revision?

Scar revision is a medical and aesthetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars by making them less visible or less symptomatic. Depending on the type and severity of the scar, treatment may involve:

  • Surgical excision or reorientation to blend the scar with natural facial contours
  • Skin grafts or local tissue flaps for deeper or complex scars
  • Non-surgical treatments such as lasers, microneedling, chemical peels, or steroid injections

Although it’s not possible to erase scars entirely, surgical revision and skin regeneration procedures can go a long way toward making them less noticeable and more harmonious with surrounding skin. Whether you’re seeking scar removal in Columbus or cosmetic scar revision in Cleveland, Dr. Parry will tailor your plan to your needs.

Benefits of Scar Revision at The J. Parry Clinics in Ohio

Patients choose Dr. Parry for scar revision due to his specialized focus on facial anatomy and aesthetic outcomes. Benefits of scar revision include:

  • Improved symmetry and texture in areas of previous trauma
  • Reduction in raised, red, or pigmented scars
  • Relief from discomfort associated with hypertrophic or keloid scars
  • Custom techniques for scar concealment along natural facial lines
  • Access to both surgical and non-surgical options

In many cases, revision leads to improved self-confidence, especially when scars are located in highly visible areas like the face or neck.

Common Types of Scars We Treat

Dr. Parry treats a wide variety of scar types, including:

  • Surgical scars – from previous facial or neck procedures
  • Traumatic scars – caused by accidents, lacerations, or injuries
  • Keloid and hypertrophic scars – raised, thickened scars that may be itchy or painful
  • Acne scars – typically treated with non-surgical resurfacing techniques
  • Pigmented or irregularly textured scars – that stand out due to color or contour

No two scars—and no two patients—are alike. That’s why each treatment is highly individualized.

FAQs About Scar Revision in Cleveland and Columbus

Candidates typically include healthy individuals who are bothered by the appearance or discomfort of a scar. Dr. Parry will evaluate your scar’s size, type, and location during your consultation to determine the best approach.
Depending on your case, scar revision may involve excising the old scar and reorienting it for better camouflage, treating it with laser or microneedling to smooth texture, or injecting steroids to flatten raised scars. Some treatments may be combined.
Recovery varies. Minor surgical revisions often allow for a return to work or daily activities within a day. Sutures are typically removed within 4 to 7 days. Final scar maturation and results can take several months.
Steroid injections are commonly used during or after treatment, especially when addressing keloids or hypertrophic scars, to reduce inflammation and lower the chance of recurrence.
Scar revision is usually considered cosmetic. However, if the scar causes pain, itching, or functional impairment, some insurance plans may offer partial coverage. We’ll assist with documentation if applicable.
Costs vary depending on the size, type, and complexity of your scar, as well as the technique used. Financing options are available. A detailed estimate will be provided during your consultation.
