What is Scar Contracture Release?
Scar contracture release is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of scars that have become tight and restrictive due to contracture. Scar contractures often result from burns, trauma, or surgical wounds, leading to the tightening of the skin and underlying tissues. This tightening can limit movement, cause discomfort, and affect the overall appearance of the affected area.
Benefits of Scar Contracture Release:
- Improved Mobility: Restore range of motion and flexibility by releasing tight scar tissue that restricts movement.
- Enhanced Appearance: Achieve a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance by addressing and reducing the visibility of scar contractures.
- Reduced Discomfort: Alleviate pain and discomfort associated with tight or restrictive scars.
- Personalized Treatment: Receive a tailored approach to your scar contracture release, designed to meet your specific needs and goals.
- Expert Care: Benefit from the expertise of our skilled surgeons who use advanced techniques to deliver optimal results.
Types of Scar Contracture Release Techniques We Offer:
- Tissue Expansion: Gradually expand the skin surrounding the scar to create additional tissue for reconstruction and release.
- Skin Grafting: Use grafts from other areas of the body to cover the scar and improve appearance and function.
- Z-Plasty: A surgical technique that rearranges scar tissue to improve its alignment and release tension.
How Scar Contracture Release Works:
- Consultation: Begin with a thorough evaluation of your scar contracture to determine the extent of the contracture and discuss your treatment goals.
- Pre-Surgical Planning: Prepare for the procedure with detailed planning, including imaging and measurements to ensure precise surgical outcomes.
- Surgical Procedure: Undergo the scar contracture release surgery, which may involve techniques such as tissue expansion, skin grafting, or Z-plasty to release tight scar tissue and restore normal function.
- Post-Surgical Care: Receive comprehensive post-operative care, including wound management, pain relief, and follow-up appointments to monitor progress and healing.
- Rehabilitation: Engage in rehabilitation and physical therapy to support recovery, improve movement, and optimize the results of your scar contracture release.
