Scar Revision in Jaipur
Making old scars flatter, finer and less noticeable — ₹25,000 per session, with the number of sessions based on your scar.
Scar revision is a group of procedures that improve how a scar looks or feels: a wide or stretched scar can be cut out and closed more neatly, a tight scar can be released, and raised or pitted scars can be flattened or lifted. No treatment can erase a scar completely, but many scars can be made much less noticeable. At Kezza Clinic, Jaipur, scar revision is performed by Dr. Ankit Bhalothia, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, at ₹25,000 per session.

Scar revision at Kezza is planned and performed by Dr. Ankit Bhalothia, who chooses the technique for your scar's type, size and position.
How we approach scar revision
- The scar is assessed first. Its type, age, size, colour and position decide which technique will help.
- The right tool for each scar. Surgical excision, Z-plasty, subcision or injections, alone or combined.
- Clear pricing. ₹25,000 per session; you are told how many sessions your scar is likely to need.
- Realistic expectations. Scars keep improving for 12 to 18 months after treatment.
The Treatment
What is scar revision?
A scar is the skin's natural way of repairing a wound. Most fade with time, but some stay wide, raised, pitted, discoloured or tight, especially on the face or over joints. Scar revision means treating a scar so that it blends better with the skin around it.
The approach depends on the scar. A wide or stretched scar can be cut out and the skin closed again in layers, leaving a finer line. A scar that runs against the natural skin creases can be re-angled with a Z-plasty or W-plasty, which also releases tight scars. Depressed scars that are tethered to deeper tissue, such as some acne scars, can be released with subcision. Raised scars are often treated with steroid injections, sometimes alongside surgery.
Timing matters. Scars keep changing for 12 to 18 months, so doctors usually wait until a scar has matured before revising it, unless there is a reason to act sooner. After revision, the new scar goes through the same maturing process, which is why the final result takes months to judge.
For acne scars and uneven texture, treatments that rebuild collagen — such as microneedling — are often combined with scar revision for the best overall result.

Scars We Assess
Types of scars and how they are treated
Your doctor examines the scar before suggesting a technique.
Suitability
Is scar revision right for you?
Scar revision may help if
- Your scar is at least several months old and has stopped changing
- It is wide, raised, pitted, discoloured or pulls on the skin
- It bothers you cosmetically or limits movement
- You are in good general health and understand that the aim is improvement, not removal
Tell your doctor if
- You or your family tend to form keloids
- You have active acne, a skin infection or eczema near the scar
- You smoke, have diabetes, or take blood thinners
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- The scar is changing, bleeding or itching a lot — it needs to be checked first
Scars from self-injury can be treated too. You will be treated with care and without judgement; if you are struggling right now, please talk to a doctor or someone you trust first.
Step by Step
How scar revision works at Kezza
- 01Consultation
Scar assessment
Dr. Ankit examines the scar, asks how it formed and how your skin usually heals, and explains which techniques could help.
- 02Planning
Technique and sessions
You agree on the technique, the likely number of sessions and the cost before anything is done.
- 03Procedure
Usually local anaesthesia
The area is numbed and the procedure is carried out — for example excision and fine stitching, subcision or injections.
- 04Aftercare
The first 2 weeks
Keep the wound clean and dry as advised. Stitches usually come out in about 5 to 7 days on the face and 10 to 14 days on the body.
- 05Scar care
Weeks to months
Silicone gel or sheets, gentle massage when advised, and daily sunscreen help the new scar settle.
- 06Review
Next steps
Progress is reviewed and, if planned, the next session is scheduled once the skin has healed.
Healing
What to expect after scar revision
- Week 1–2
Stitches out
Mild swelling and redness; stitches removed in about 5 to 14 days depending on the site.
- Months 1–3
Pink and firm
The new scar is often pink and slightly firm — this is normal.
- Months 3–6
Softening
Colour and thickness improve; further sessions may be planned.
- Months 12–18
Mature scar
The scar becomes flatter and paler; this is when the final result is judged.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Scar revision at Kezza Clinic costs ₹25,000 per session. The number of sessions depends on the type, size and position of your scar, and is explained at your consultation with Dr. Ankit Bhalothia.
No. A scar can be made flatter, finer and less noticeable, but it cannot be erased. The aim of scar revision is a scar that blends better with the surrounding skin.
Some scars need a single session, such as a wide scar that is excised and closed. Others, such as acne scars or raised scars, improve over a planned series. Your doctor tells you what to expect after examining the scar.
Scars keep changing for 12 to 18 months, so doctors usually wait until a scar has matured before revising it. In some cases earlier treatment is suggested — your doctor will advise you.
Most scar revision is done under local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. Some soreness afterwards is normal and usually settles within days.
Yes, but keloids can come back after surgery, so they are usually treated with a combined plan — for example steroid injections, sometimes with surgery and careful aftercare. Your doctor will explain the chance of recurrence.
You can usually return to normal activities within a day or two, keeping the wound clean. Stitches come out in about 5 to 14 days. The new scar is pink at first and settles over the following months.
