Wound Coverage and Scar Revision
Wound coverage and scar revision restore protection, function, and a refined appearance where tissue has been lost or scars restrict motion or draw unwanted attention. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre, Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery) offers a full spectrum—from advanced dressings and grafts to local/regional flaps, tissue expansion, lasers, and microneedling—to achieve durable coverage and elegant, natural-looking scar refinement.
Our goal is simple: close wounds safely with stable, well-vascularized tissue and optimize scars so they are softer, flatter, and less noticeable.
What Is Wound Coverage & Scar Revision?
Wound coverage replaces missing skin and soft tissue to protect underlying structures, relieve pain, and restore function. Scar revision improves the quality, position, and texture of scars that are tight, thick, depressed, elevated, or poorly aligned with natural skin lines. Treatment plans follow the “reconstructive ladder”—starting from simpler options and moving to more complex solutions when needed—always prioritizing safety, durability, and aesthetics.
Treatments We Offer
Advanced Dressings & Adjuncts
Modern dressing protocols, silicone therapy, and pressure taping to support epithelialization and scar remodeling.
Negative-pressure wound therapy (vacuum dressings) to prepare complex wounds for graft or flap coverage.
Skin Grafting
Split-thickness grafts for larger, clean wound beds.
Full-thickness grafts for smaller areas (e.g., face/hand) requiring better color/texture match and less contraction.
Local & Regional Flaps
Local rearrangements (advancement, rotation, transposition, bilobed, rhomboid) to move healthy, well-matched tissue into the defect.
Z‑plasty and geometric scar rearrangement to lengthen tight scars, reorient lines into natural creases, and improve motion.
Tissue Expansion
Gradual stretching of nearby normal skin to replace scarred tissue with the best possible color/texture match, especially on scalp, face, and trunk.
Microsurgical (Free‑Flap) Coverage
Vascularized tissue transfer for large or exposed structures (bone, tendon, nerves) when local tissue is insufficient—providing robust, durable coverage.
Scar Refinement & Texture Blending
Scar excision and re-closure along relaxed skin tension lines.
Laser resurfacing, microneedling, steroid/5‑FU injections, and dermabrasion for hypertrophic, keloid, or textural scars.
The Treatment Process
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
1. Consultation: You’ll meet Dr. Zameer Abbas to assess wound depth, tissue loss, tension lines, and scar behavior; goals for function and aesthetics are defined.
2. Preparation: Wound bed optimization (debridement, infection control), dressing planning, and timing of graft/flap or revision.
3. Reconstruction: The selected option (graft, flap, expansion, or free flap) is performed with meticulous hemostasis and tension control to protect healing.
4. Refinement: Scar realignment into natural creases, Z-plasties where needed, and adjuvant modalities (laser/microneedling/injections) to optimize the result.
5. Recovery: You’ll receive detailed dressing care, activity limits, and a scar-care plan (silicone, massage, sun protection) with scheduled follow-ups.
Most patients see improved protection and contour immediately; color and texture blending mature over 3–12 months as scars remodel.
Recovery & Aftercare
After treatment, expect temporary swelling and sensitivity that settle with time.
Dressing and splint/immobilization guidance (especially over joints or grafts)
Scar‑care protocol: silicone sheeting/gel, massage, and SPF
Activity progression to protect early healing and reduce widening
Planned reviews for additional blending (laser, injections) if beneficial
Results You Can Expect
Stable, comfortable coverage over previously exposed or fragile areas
Softer, flatter scars that align better with natural lines
Improved mobility where scars once restricted movement
Every procedure at AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre is performed with precision to ensure results that are functional, durable, and aesthetically refined.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes—after a one‑to‑one consultation, a personalized plan is created based on your goals, medical history, and examination. If a treatment is not suitable, safer alternatives and clear next steps are provided.
Expect a calm, step‑by‑step process: consultation and consent, preparation, the procedure itself with comfort measures, and immediate post‑care guidance. Typical appointments include brief photography for planning and outcome tracking.
Most patients resume light activities the same day or within a few days, depending on the service. Early improvements are often visible quickly, with refinement continuing over the following weeks as healing or remodeling completes.
All treatments have potential risks such as temporary swelling, redness, or sensitivity, which usually settle with proper aftercare. You’ll receive clear pre‑ and post‑treatment instructions and direct follow‑up to minimize risks and support a smooth recovery.
Pricing depends on the treatment type, complexity, and whether sessions are combined or staged. You’ll receive a transparent quote after consultation, including pre‑procedure preparation, the procedure itself, and written aftercare with planned follow‑ups.
