Scar revision surgery improves the appearance of scars from previous surgeries, injuries, or burns using techniques like excision, laser resurfacing, Z-plasty, or skin grafting. Chinese dermatology and plastic surgery departments offer advanced combination approaches including fractional laser and platelet-rich plasma therapy. Treatment costs are significantly lower than in Western countries, making multi-session protocols financially accessible.
