ABSTRACT
The goal of scar revision is to improve upon appearance and function. In addition, techniques used to rectify scars may recruit local ``normal'' tissue. Approriate scar management begins at the time of injury. Initial treatment, patient selection, timing of repair, and technique selection are critical steps in the decision-making process. Weakness in any one step can lead to a worsened scar appearance. Some common difficult management issues in scar revision are outlined with the aid of select cases.
