When you have scar revision surgery, the purpose of the surgery is to make a scar less prominent. It is to take the area where the scar is located and make the skin more consistent with the tone, color and texture of the healthy skin that surrounds it.
Scars are a natural part of the healing process. When serious injuries, surgeries or illnesses happen, scars are an unavoidable byproduct. One of the interesting things about scars is that the way they develop is unpredictable. One individual may have a particular surgery or a particular injury and not be left with a serious scar. Others may have a similar procedure and be left with a very large and noticeable scar.
One of the terrible things about scars is that even if the wounded area heals completely, the scar can negatively affect your appearance. Scars come in many different shapes and forms. Some scars may be raised and other scars may be recessed. Some scars have a color that matches your healthy skin, while others look red or have colors that do not match with the rest of your skin.
Scar revision surgery is an excellent way to provide a more pleasing cosmetic result or to address a scar that did not heal well. That being said, it is important to note that scar revision is not always going to completely erase a scar. Good candidates for scar revision surgery are individuals who realize that while the procedure may drastically reduce the appearance of the scar, it is not realistic to expect the procedure to completely cause the scar to disappear. Scar revision is an individualized procedure. For this reason, you need to do it for yourself. If you undergo scar revision because of pressure from others or because of concern about what a particular person thinks about you, you may be disappointed with the results.
You may be a good candidate for scar revision surgery if you have a scar anywhere on your body that bothers you. To be a good candidate, you need to be physically healthy because the healthier you are, the easier it’s going to be for your body to react to and accept the treatment.

Praise for excellence
by Ruby Wood
Category: generalSince my first visit with Dr. Luxenberg, I have felt there is hope for my skin. Being an elderly woman of 88 years, a redhead with freckles and sensitive skin, it has never been easy for me to find a doctor who really took the time to be thorough with examination and treatments. Not only is Dr. Luxenberg the best dermatologist I've ever been treated by, but he also has a pleasant bedside manner and an amazing, interesting personality. I can tell that he genuinely cares if his patients are comfortable during treatments. When I was referred to Dr. Luxenberg, some three years ago, it was a very good day for me.
You will not find a better Dermatologist than Dr. Rosenberg
by Matthew Thomas
Category: generalDr. Rosenberg has been my dermatologist since 2005. I grew up swimming competitively while also playing water polo, tennis and volleyball and I knew my years in the sun would ultimately catch up to my skin. His proactive approach and thoroughness during my visits has been a tremendous help! Dr. Rosenberg also has a table side manor that other doctors should strive to achieve. His back office staff are kind, friendly and very timely when responding to questions and inquiries. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice!!!

Surgery on face
by Christine McDonnell
Category: serviceDr luxenberg I was referred to Dr Matthew Luxenberg at the Los Alamitos office by a friend of mine. He came highly recommended. My L jaw line was extremely swollen and painful. I have presently seen Dr Luxenbery 2x so far. The day of the appt the front office staff & the nursing staff were kind & compassionate. My appts have been right on time so I never had any waiting. They used extra precautions due to covid so I felt very safe. I have been an RN PHN for over 30 years and know many many doctors that I have worked with and gone to as a patient. I have been so impressed with Dr Luxenberg that I felt compelled to write a review. Dr Luxenberg is not only an EXCELLENT doctor but he is also very compassionate . It is very difficult t find doctors that have both competency and compassion. Dr Luxenberg has BOTH . Most doctors would NOT have taken care of my medical problem on the 1st visit. They do an initial visit and have you come back . The staff got me an appt within just a few days & the doctor performed surgery on my jaw line at the FIRST VISIT. The office has a surgical room which most doctor offices do NOT have . They have you go t a an out patient surgical clinic or hospital to perform the surgery. This costs the patient a lot of extra money and Incontinence AND increased exposure t covid. It just goes to show how much Dr Luxenberg CARES about his patients & wants to take care of his patients as quick and easy as possible. MY face looks normal again & all my pain is completely gone. I suffered with this pain for over a year. I had went t a plastic surgeon initially in Jan this year . The plastic surgeon did a very poor job on my face and left my jaw line looking abnormal and did not even take care of my medical problem . I was actually in more pain following that appt. I enjoy my visits with Dr Luxenberg because when he is performing surgery he makes SURE the patient has NO pain during the surgery. He is such an excellent doctor he completed my surgery so quickl
Great!
