Scar revision may be funded by ACC depending on the nature of the
injury and the time period in which it occurred. Any incision or
injury through the deep layers of the skin heals leaving a scar.
Sometimes the scar may be painful, impair movement or look unsightly.
An in-depth understanding of the biology of wound healing allows
plastic surgeons to manipulate and optimize the conditions of wound
healing. By the careful application of plastic surgical principles
and techniques, scars may be revised and adjacent tissue rearranged
to give significant aesthetic and functional improvement in most
cases.
