We prefer to graft strip scars rather than revise them. Patients are left with a linear scar that should be thinner but will remain visible. The scars are usually about 50% better in appearence after the revision but may still stretch wider over time. Some scars are so wide that revisions are viable solutions depending on the patients goals.

Grafting the scar is less invasive and usually is more effective in reducing the appearence of strip scars. A CIT grafting procedure may require patients to have more than one session to treat the scar. After the scar is grafted, it may become pinkish in color then turn white months later. The approach is to transplant a lower number of grafts to help ensure that the blood supply for the grafts is adequate.

Both methods can help the patient improve the appearence of the strip scar.
