Scar revision at MUDr. Šimek's Olomouc practice addresses both functional scars (those restricting movement) and aesthetic scars (those visible or distressing to the patient). MUDr. Šimek is direct about the limits of scar treatment: 'Scars cannot be eliminated' is the clinic's explicit starting position — realistic expectation-setting is a professional responsibility. What revision can achieve is repositioning, reshaping, narrowing, or re-orienting a scar to make it less noticeable, or releasing a scar contracture to restore mobility. The clinic treats many scar claims made for laser therapy as marketing misconceptions. Earlobe repair is offered separately from 4 000 Kč.
About this treatment
Scars are the end product of the wound healing process — a biological necessity for restoring tissue integrity. The quality of scar formation is determined by a complex interplay of wound tension, infection risk, individual genetic healing tendency, location on the body, and how the original wound was closed and managed. Scar revision surgery does not eliminate scars; it replaces an unfavourable scar with a more favourable one through a second controlled…
MUDr. Šimek's clinic states this plainly in its patient documentation, and it is a philosophically important distinction. Many commercial scar treatments — particularly laser systems — are marketed with before-and-after results that reflect natural scar maturation rather than laser efficacy. The clinic specifically describes laser scar claims as 'marketing misconceptions' and bases its treatments on surgical technique and evidence-based scar management…

Who is this for?
Patients with scars causing functional restriction (contracture); those with wide, raised, or poorly positioned aesthetic scars; patients seeking plastic-surgeon-planned scar revision rather than cosmetic laser treatments
Preparation required
Book consultation and bring photographs of the scar from multiple angles and at different times since the injury to help assess maturation progress. Avoid sun exposure on the scar area for 6 weeks before revision. Avoid blood thinners 10 days before. Discuss any history of keloid scarring at consultation — keloid-prone patients require different technique planning.
