Does it Hurt to Have a Scar Revised?
There are a variety of anesthetics that can be used for scar revision. Your surgeon will describe all the options available to you for a safe, pain-free procedure. In general, local anesthesia can be used for procedures involving small scars and limited body areas. For more complex procedures and larger areas, your surgeon may recommend general anesthesia. Whichever method of anesthesia is used, the most pain you’ll feel is the pinprick of the anesthetic injection. After surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and general discomfort. Your surgeon can prescribe medication to help you rest and sleep.
