Scar revision involves the removal of the old scar with a multiple zig-zag pattern closure to provide the best possible results. This may leave an improved scar; however, it will take many weeks for the final result to show as the scar must flatten and lose the redness from surgery. The entire healing process will take a minimum of three months for the scar tissue to soften and mature into its mature form.

Scar revision surgery in Sydney is designed to make scars less visible by blending them with surrounding skin tone and texture. At Australia Plastic Surgery, our FRACS-certified surgeons use precise techniques to soften thick or raised scars and restore smoother, more natural skin.

How Scar Revision Surgery Is Performed

At Australia Plastic Surgery, each scar revision surgery begins with a detailed consultation to assess the scar’s type, size, and depth. Depending on your needs, our FRACS-certified plastic surgeons may use one or a combination of advanced techniques

Local anaesthesia is typically used for small scars, while general anaesthesia may be recommended for larger or deeper revisions. All procedures are performed in accredited Sydney facilities to ensure comfort and safety.

Following surgery, patients may experience mild redness or swelling that subsides over several days. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks, with full results becoming visible within three to six months as the skin heals and blends naturally.

Yes, spider veins can be treated and often fade or disappear after treatment. Procedures like sclerotherapy or laser therapy are commonly used to make spider veins go away by targeting and collapsing the affected blood vessels.

Yes, it can be worth it if spider veins are causing aesthetic concerns or discomfort. Removing them can improve the appearance of your skin, boost confidence, and alleviate any symptoms like itching or pain. However, it’s essential to consult with a professional to determine if treatment is right for you.

In most cases, spider veins are not dangerous, but if left untreated, they can become more prominent over time. In rare instances, untreated veins may lead to complications like blood clots or contribute to other circulatory issues. However, most spider veins are purely cosmetic and do not cause significant health problems.

The best treatments include sclerotherapy (injecting a solution to collapse the vein), laser therapy (using light to treat veins), and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy.

It can take 2–6 weeks to see improvements after sclerotherapy or laser treatments, with full results typically visible after 3–4 months.

Most treatments are minimally painful. Sclerotherapy may cause a slight stinging or burning sensation, while laser treatments may feel like a mild snapping or tingling sensation.

While spider veins cannot always be prevented, wearing compression stockings, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding prolonged periods of standing, and staying active can help reduce the risk.

The results can be long-lasting, but new veins may develop over time, especially if underlying causes like poor circulation or hormonal imbalances persist. Maintenance treatments may be required.

The cost of spider vein treatments in Sydney depends on several factors, including the technique, surgeon’s expertise, and hospital fees. At Australia Plastic Surgery, the cost of spider vein treatments typically ranges from AUD $150 to $500 per session, depending on the method and area treated.
