Scar Revision in Children

Scars result when there is damage to the skin from trauma or surgery. Scar revision surgery attempts to minimize a scar so it is less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin and tissue. The main reason for scar revision in children is aesthetic concerns. Although, at times, scar tissue can impede normal functions or movements and must be corrected. When you need pediatric treatment, Dr. Eric Cerrati is your local facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who handles scar revisions in and around Salt Lake City, Utah.

In any patient, scar revisions depend to a great extent on the severity of the injury and scarring, the location of the scar and how it affects the surrounding skin and tissues. Some scar revisions may require several treatments stretched out over a period of years. Each scar treatment or revision needs time to heal and fade before Dr. Cerrati can determine how the next treatment should be handled.

Gentle Kids’ Scar Treatment in Utah

Many small scars in children will fade with age and time and become virtually unnoticeable. However, many times, trauma leaves large visible scars, even after facial plastic reconstruction surgery. Different wounds demand specific treatment, and scarring is how your body responds to heal trauma and injury. Dr. Cerrati’s job is to minimize scarring during reconstructive surgery and even treat existing scars from previous trauma or surgery to minimize or even eliminate its visibility.

Dr. Eric Cerrati is a double board certified, fellowship trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who directs the Department of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Utah. He has training and experience that has uniquely prepared him for the work of surgical reconstruction and pediatric scar revisions. You will not find a more experienced and qualified plastic surgeon in Utah or the surrounding states.

If your son or daughter needs gentle scar treatment, contact the Park City office of Dr. Cerrati to schedule your pediatric scar revision consultation today. Dr. Cerrati can explain more about what procedures are available and which ones would benefit your child the most.

Eric is such a great doctor! He treated me as family and was very thorough and diligent. I was very nervous but he made me feel comfortable at all times especially when undertaking a 7 hour surgery. I flew in all the way from the East Coast to see him as I heard he was the best in his field. His staff is friendly and caring. You can tell he has a good heart. I recommend!

I am one month out from my procedure with Dr. Cerrati and could not be happier with my results. From my initial inquiry to today, both the doctor and the staff could not have been more helpful. Dr. Cerrati has a wonderful team that makes scheduling, payments, and follow up questions easy. The doctor himself is attentive, happy to answer questions and did a great job of listening to my concerns and ideas, while presenting his professional opinion in a respectful and helpful way. My recovery was a breeze, thanks to his careful techniques. At just one month, I am seeing a drastic improvement in both form and function. So thankful to have Dr. Cerrati based in my home of Utah, but I would have traveled across the country to see him!

Dr. Cerrati performed a facelift (w/ neck tightening), upper and lower blepharoplasty, and CO2 laser resurfacing for me in February 2021. I’m 3.5 months post op and the results have exceeded all my expectations; beyond what I ever could have imagined. I experienced minimal pain, swelling and bruising, after my 8 hour surgery and was ready to be seen in public in less than 10 days. Dr. Cerrati and his team are without question, second to none in their field. I have been treated with nothing but the utmost professionalism, compassion, patience, kindness and unconditional support from the beginning of my journey to today. Any questions or concerns I have ever expressed have ALWAYS been given the utmost respect and Dr. Cerrati pays attention to every detail in his patient care. His artistic talent and surgical skills are remarkable. In my opinion, he is a truly gifted plastic surgeon. The best you’ll find in the industry. If you’re considering any facial plastics procedures, Dr. Cerrati, and his team, is the place to come, even if it means traveling to do so. Thank you so much for changing my life for the better and giving me back my self confidence that I was sure I’d lost forever.

Choosing Dr. Cerrati to perform my rhinoplasty was the best decision I ever made! I had consultations with many other surgeons and he was who I felt most comfortable with. He really listened to what I wanted and made it look very natural. He fixed my deviated septum and performed some cosmetic work. My recovery was such an easy process! I had 0 pain and minimal bruising. I love the outcome of my nose, both functionally and structurally. I highly recommend Dr. Cerrati, you wont regret it.

Working with Dr. Cerrati and his assistant Hailey, has been the most wonderful experience! It is clear Dr. Cerrati cares about helping you achieve your dreams and Hailey is the sweetest, most helpful & awesome gal ever! They both spent so much time listening and understanding exactly what I wanted done with my nose and forehead and spent time making sure I was cared for and heard. I love my results and am so happy that I chose to go with this team. I plan to continue using them for my lip and cheek injection and suggesting them to all my friends moving forward- I am soo happy I found them!

I would highly recommend Dr. Cerrati based on my experience with both him and his office staff. He is very professional and a perfectionist When it comes to his patients results. I researched several surgeons, and ultimately decided on Dr. Cerrati based on his reviews and before and after pictures. One month post rhinoplasty, I am no longer self conscious. I’m loving my results ( and I’m very picky) . If anyone is worried , rest assured you Will love Dr. Cerrati and his staff!
