Scar correction in Leipzig
Scars tell stories – of surgeries, accidents, or inflammatory skin diseases. But not every scar is treasured as a memory. Particularly visible, bulging, or indented scars on the face or exposed parts of the body can severely impair one's self-image and well-being. Functional limitations such as feelings of tension or itching are also not uncommon.
At our practice in Leipzig, we offer customized treatment options for scar correction. The goal of the treatment is to significantly improve the appearance of the scar and harmoniously reintegrate the surrounding tissue. We use modern surgical techniques that can be performed on an outpatient basis and usually under local Anesthesia.
Who is scar correction suitable for?
Scar revision is an option for all patients suffering from noticeable or bothersome scars—whether for aesthetic or functional reasons. We particularly frequently treat:
-
Hypertrophic (bulging) or atrophic (sunken) scars
-
Scars after surgery, injuries or acne
-
Scars that cause restricted movement
-
Inflammatory or painful scars
It's important that the scar has completely healed. Fresh scars should generally be treated after at least 6–12 months to achieve the best possible results.

How does scar correction work in Leipzig?
Preparation
Before the procedure, Dr. Graß will conduct a detailed consultation with you. We will discuss the type of scar, your expectations, and the appropriate treatment approach. In the days leading up to the procedure, you should avoid nicotine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications to promote the healing process.
Operation
Scar revision is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local Anesthesia. Depending on the scar and technique, the procedure takes approximately 30–90 minutes. Possible procedures include:
-
Cutting out and re-stitching the scar (excision)
-
Z-plasty or W-plasty to redistribute tension
-
Skin transplantation for large scars
The skin is adjusted so that the new scar is as inconspicuous as possible and blends in well with the natural skin structure.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions on how to care for the treated area. Cooling and rest support the healing process. During the first few days, physical exertion, direct sunlight, and cosmetic products should be avoided. Light activities are often possible after a few days.
The stitches are removed after approximately 7–10 days, depending on the location. For optimal results, we recommend regular follow-up appointments in our practice and, if necessary, accompanying scar care (e.g., silicone plasters, scar massage).
What risks are there?
Scar revision is a low-risk procedure that, when performed properly, produces good results. However, as with any surgery, after-effects such as swelling, bruising, or impaired wound healing may occur. Complete scar removal is not possible—the goal is always a significant aesthetic improvement.
Should complications arise, we are available to assist you at any time in Leipzig. We will closely accompany you on your journey to more beautiful skin.
