Get Rid of Unsightly Scars with Scar Revision Surgery
Do scars from an accident or a surgery embarrass you? Do you have scars that refuse to fade away over time? The solution could be scar revision. New York patients come to Dr. Sterry to make their scars less noticeable, and they leave feeling more confident in the way they look. Dr. Sterry will discuss several scar revision treatment methods with you so that you can achieve the look you desire.
After your consultation, Dr. Sterry will determine the best scar revision method for your particular case. Some scars need to be excised and closed again to make them less conspicuous; some need to be reoriented to make them blend into the skin better and others just need skin care treatments such as silicone sheets and silicone gels to help them to heal properly. You may also be a good candidate for laser scar revision, which requires treatments every one to three months to diminish redness. The last option is dermabrasion, which shaves the outer layers of the scar and surrounding skin to help it blend in.
After scar revision surgery, you can expect to see a more pleasant and natural appearance in the affected area. For many patients, the surgery can be life changing. For patients with noticeable facial scars from an accident, for example, this procedure can completely change the level of confidence they feel.
Every patient is different, but Dr. Sterry often recommends waiting six months before investing in scar revision surgery to see if the scar will fade away naturally. Some patients have found that their scars would obviously not be fading away after as little as three months, though. If you'd like to discuss your options and find out if scar revision is right for you, contact Dr. Sterry's office to schedule a consultation today. He will evaluate your unique situation and determine what the best options are to achieve your goals.

Patient testimonials
"Dr. Sterry is amazing. He performed a lower body lift on Nov. 14, 2005 and I am thrilled with the result. He will be doing a breast/arm lift on Feb. 3. I interviewed several of the top plastic surgeons in New York City when I decided to begin my plastics and there was NO comparison when it came to Dr. Sterry."

I have been asked many times if a tummy tuck scar would be made above or below a C-section scar. Patients seem to think that they will end up with two separate scars from the procedures. That's not how it works. The truth is that I routinely make my tummy tuck incisions below the C-section scars a read more »
