Wounds and scars, whether caused by injury, surgery, or burns, can leave behind more than physical marks—they can impact confidence, functionality, and overall quality of life. With advances in plastic and reconstructive surgery, many of these imperfections can now be corrected or significantly improved through specialized techniques like cosmetic suturing and scar revision surgery.

At the practice of Dr. Richie Gupta, we focus on delivering not just healing—but aesthetic restoration. With his surgical expertise and deep understanding of skin anatomy, Dr. Gupta ensures that every wound is closed with minimal scarring, and existing scars are revised to blend naturally with surrounding skin.

Ideal For:

  • Facial cuts and lacerations

  • Injuries in cosmetically sensitive areas (eyelids, lips, nose, hands)

  • Wounds following skin tumor excision or biopsy

  • Patients who desire superior cosmetic outcomes after injury or minor surgery

Dr. Richie Gupta uses meticulous, layer-by-layer closure techniques, often with dissolvable sutures and non-traumatic needle systems, to provide seamless results.

Scar revision is a surgical or non-surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance, texture, and function of scars. While no scar can be completely removed, its visibility can be dramatically reduced, especially when handled by a trained plastic surgeon.

 Types of Scars Treated:

  • Hypertrophic scars (raised but within wound boundary)

  • Keloids (raised and growing beyond the wound area)

  • Depressed scars (such as acne or surgical scars)

  • Contracture scars (from burns, restricting movement)

  • Wide or discolored surgical scars

Techniques Used in Scar Revision

Unlike standard wound closure methods, cosmetic suturing uses refined techniques and fine sutures.

  • Surgical Excision & Re-closureRemoving the old scar and re-suturing it using cosmetic principles for a finer, narrower scar.
  • Z-Plasty / W-PlastyRe-orienting the scar to reduce tension and blend it better with natural skin lines.
  • Dermabrasion & Laser ResurfacingSmoothing out scar texture and pigmentation.
  • Steroid Injections or Silicone Gel SheetsFor keloid or raised scars to flatten and fade them.
  • Tissue ExpansionExpanding healthy skin next to the scar to replace scarred tissue with a better match.
  • Microneedling & PRP TherapyFor atrophic or pitted scars to stimulate collagen remodeling.
