AB  - Scar  formation  is  vital  to  the  wound  healing  process.  As  surgeons,  we  spend  much  of  our  day  creating  wounds  in  the  skin,  and  as  a  result,  scarring  is  an  inherent  reality  of  surgical  practice.  Many  patients  may  present  with  reconstructive  challenges,  resulting  in  scars  that  are  cosmetically  or  functionally  unsatisfactory  to  the  patient,  physician,  or  both.  As  such,  a  comprehensive  understanding  of  scar  revision  and  the  various  modalities  by  which  scars  may  be  managed  is  essential.  While  a  plethora  of  techniques  are  available  to  improve  both  functional  and  cosmetic  outcomes,  this  chapter  focuses  specifically  on  “cold  steel”  surgical  scar  revision  techniques.  With  proper  preoperative  analysis  of  the  scar  and  surrounding  tissue,  as  well  as  skilled  execution  of  an  appropriately  planned  surgical  revision,  optimal  results  may  be  consistently  attained.
