Scar correction

For some people, disturbing scars can have a negative effect on their self-confidence. Some signs that may indicate trouble with scars are:

Insecurity or less self-confidence due to conspicuous or disfiguring scars
Physical discomfort, such as pain when moving and touching
Psychological discomfort, such as negative self-image and avoidance of social situations

If one or more of these signs are recognizable, a visit to a scar correction specialist may be advisable. During this consultation, we will discuss whether corrective treatment can be considered to treat the scars.

The treatment process

Step 1: Schedule a consultation

Schedule an appointment for an intake consultation with one of our experienced scar correction specialists. During this consultation:

Discuss your medical history and the situation of the scar
Taking a closer look at the scar
Listen to your wishes and expectations for treatment.

The goal of the consultation is to understand the options that fit your specific situation. Together, we determine the next steps.

Step 2: Comprehensive consultation with the plastic surgeon

During this consultation with the plastic surgeon, we discuss in detail:

The type of scar and possible causes
The treatment options that may be appropriate for your situation
Possible risks or side effects
Advice on the further course of surgery

All the details of the treatment plan are discussed here so that you can make a proper consideration. This ensures that the procedure is optimal.

Step 3: Day of surgery

On the appointed date, we perform the scar correction. Here we take into account:

The type of scar and the technique chosen, such as laser, injections or surgery
General or local anesthesia or not

During surgery:

The plastic surgeon makes small incisions on both sides of the scar
He gently removes the old scar tissue
The skin is carefully sutured

Afterwards, you will receive detailed explanations about checkups and the recovery process. Our goal is the best possible cosmetic result.

Step 4: Aftercare and recovery

After the procedure, it is important to follow the plastic surgeon’s instructions. This includes:

Do not expose the scar to sunlight for the first time to prevent excessive pigmentation
No heavy physical activity, such as sports, until the scar has healed sufficiently
Avoid smoking and alcohol during the recovery process
During the first few weeks, the scar may be red, swollen or sensitive. This is normal and will gradually subside.

During aftercare checks, we can answer your further questions and evaluate your progress. Together, we make sure you make a full recovery with beautiful results.

Step 5: Long-term aftercare

The scarring process can take up to two years. During this time, long-term aftercare is important.

Continue to actively work on scar improvement by:

Use creams or other devices recommended by the plastic surgeon.
Return regularly for check-ups.

During these checkups, the plastic surgeon assesses progress. Any additional steps to optimize scar healing, such as additional treatments, are also discussed.

Long-term contact allows us to continue to monitor the development of the scar and make adjustments as needed. This ensures that the result will be as good as possible.

Eyelid surgery

I visited Mr. Jairath for an eyelid correction and am extremely satisfied with the entire process.

From the first consultation through to the operation and aftercare, everything felt professional, clear and reassuring. Mr. Jairath is a highly skilled doctor with a great deal of knowledge and experience. He knows exactly what he is talking about, puts you at ease and gives honest, sound advice.

The procedure and guidance were in my opinion absolutely worth 5 stars. I am very happy with the result of the correction, my complaints have gone and I feel much better for it.

My compliments and thanks to Mr. Jairath.

Eyelid surgery

During the intake consultation with Mr. David Jairath, I already had a good feeling about it. He gave a clear explanation of what the procedure entailed. After the intake, I also received additional information by email. The procedure itself was very relaxed. He explained each step clearly as we went along. Everything is done under local anaesthesia. We had a very pleasant conversation during the procedure and before you knew it, the treatment was finished. I received clear instructions on what to do after the procedure. After a week, the stitches were removed. I am very satisfied with the end result.
