• The old scar is removed, and one of several plastic surgery techniques is used to repair the incision.
• The techniques will be used that will allow the best chance of obtaining an improved or excellent scar. (fix gap between THE OLD (gap) SCAR)

• Postoperative pain is usually minimal.
• Sutures are usually removed in 4-6 days for the face and 10-14 days for other parts of the body. Sometimes glue is used to close the incision and this will usually peel off in 7 days.
