Scar Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Scars from injuries, surgery, burns or acne can be thick, raised, wide or tight. Tight scars across joints can even limit movement. Scars cannot be erased completely, but they can be made much flatter, thinner and less noticeable, and tight scars can be released. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, plastic surgeon Dr. Pankaj Pandor treats scars, keloids and skin defects with scar revision, grafts and other methods as suited.
Understanding the Condition
Types of Scars
Most scars fade over 6–12 months. Some become thick and raised (hypertrophic), grow beyond the wound (keloid), or pull the skin tight across a joint (contracture), especially after burns. Skin defects – areas of lost skin after injury or infection – may need a graft or flap to cover them.

Common Questions
Scar Treatment FAQs
Can a scar be removed completely?
No scar can be erased fully, but it can be made much less noticeable.
When should scar surgery be done?
Usually after the scar matures, around 6–12 months. Tight scars limiting movement may be treated earlier.
Do keloids come back?
They can. Combining surgery with injections or other treatment lowers the chance.
Do creams help?
Silicone gels and massage help early scars. Older thick scars may need other treatment.
Is burn scar surgery covered by insurance?
Reconstructive surgery is often covered; cosmetic procedures usually are not. See cashless insurance.
