 Z-plasty
                     

Scars are unpredictable, whether they are caused by surgery or an accident. The formation of a scar depends as much upon the way your body heals as it does on the nature of the injury or the surgeon’s skill in repairing it.

The factors that affect scarring after a wound include the size and severity of the wound, its shape and direction, the original color and thickness of your skin, and the blood supply to the injured area. Whether a scar is severe enough to merit plastic surgery is a personal decision, and is different for each patient.

It is impossible to remove a scar completely. However, plastic surgery can often do much to lessen the severity of a scar, making it less noticeable by applying or injecting steroids or through scar revision, a commonly used surgical procedure.

If you are thinking about having your scar treated through plastic surgery, the following information may help you with your decision. Since each person scars differently, it cannot cover every facet of your particular situation, so make sure to involve your doctor in your decision-making process.

  Z-plasty

Z-plasty is a surgical procedure during which a scar’s position is changed so that it blends with the natural creases of your skin. This procedure leaves scars less conspicuous and can lessen the tension on skin caused by contractures. However, Z-plasty is not appropriate for all scars.

During Z-plasty, the existing scar tissue is removed and new incisions are made to each side of the original wound. This makes small, triangular skin flaps. These flaps can be repositioned to cover over the wound at a different angle, lending the scar a “Z” shape. The wound is closed with small stitches which can be removed several days later.
