ABOUT SCAR REVISION
As a very common skin issue, scars can be located anywhere on the body and face. In some cases, a scar is a reminder of a wound that once existed or another condition that caused a disruption to the skin’s surface. While most scars are not a problem, some scars are unappealing and unsightly. They can be too big or too wide, bumpy, dark, raised, or recessed. Depending on where the scar is located and its condition, scar revision surgery may be needed to improve its appearance. Chicago, IL board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Karol A. Gutowski offers scar revision surgery, which is an elective treatment that works to reduce the size and improve the appearance of your scar.
TYPES OF SCARS
There are several types of scars that can exist on the body that patients wish to improve through cosmetic treatment. The type you have can dictate the best technique to address it. The most common types of scars Dr. Gutowski treats are:
- Superficial Scars
These are the subtlest type of scars. They do not cause any issue other than an unsightly appearance. - Keloid Scars
These scars are more noticeable in size and can be sometimes painful. The skin around the scar tends to be discolored and reaches beyond the edges of where the wound once existed. - Hypertrophic Scars
This type of scar can also be large in size. They may become thicker and grow bigger over time; however, they do not commonly expand beyond the wound site. - Contracture Scars
This type of scar is considered more complex as it forms over a bigger area of skin. A burn is an example of this type of scar. Many times a contracture scar feels stretched and also restricts movement in some patients.

Friendly, Professional and In Touch – Dr. Gutowski is genuinely a warm, considerate and pays close attention to your goals. He took the time to review options with me, explained the procedure and made himself readily available Incase I had any questions that may come up after my consultation. He personally called me after my procedure to ask how I was doing. Dr. Gutowski is a true professional in his field, and keeps the human…

I love coming here. The staff is very professional and sweet. They are well informed and eager to provide you the services that you need as opposed to what they feel like they need to push the sales for that week. The place is small however don’t be taken back. They have nurses and doctors as well as aestheticians.

Best Botox experience ever! I bought a groupon for 20 units of Botox( my regular dosage) after Dr. Gutowski consulted with me, we decided that 12 units would be enough (forehead line) for me at this time and that my 8 units would be waiting for me when I needed more. It was nice to have such an honest consult. Erin (assistant) was also really really great! I can’t wait to come back for my “M.M.”

Reconstructive Breast Augmentation- EXCELLENT experience – To summarize, I recently had reconstructive breast augmentation to remove capsular contracture and replace a ruptured implant (from another surgeon 10 years ago). I did extensive research on plastic surgeons in the Chicagoland area and chose 6 doctors for consultation. It was easy to make my final decision to have Dr. Gutowski perform surgery on me. He educated me on all my options and made me feel like I “Anonymous”

So far I’ve had one Brazilian LHR session with Michelle. She was so professional, and the place was very clean and quiet. I felt very comfortable here despite the fact that I was baring my lady parts. Will definitely be completing my 5 additional sessions, and I will try to report back on the success. The machine they use is new, large, quick, and powerful, so apparently they’re having great results so far.

” I had 2 procedures 8 months apart by Dr Gutowski. Now I look 10 years younger. My friends at work said that my eyes look less tired and my forehead less angry. The surgery was worth it. After dropping over 30 pounds and getting a loose tummy, I went back for a tummy-tuck with liposuction and now look great in my summer outfits. The office staff really did a wonder job getting me through “A.”

I have received filler and botox by Maggie, and micro-needling by Lauren. Simply put both ladies are amazing! I was hesitant coming here being new to town but really lucked out stumbling upon this place. The prices are reasonable, they are always friendly and prompt but most importantly the results exceeded my expectations. I’m no stranger to filler and Maggie has a different style than what I’m used to so I was nervous at first “J.P.”

I had the best experience possible with Rejuvenate Med Spa, Doctor Gutowski and his stuff. The procedure I had done for my face was for my scars after acne and I tried many other procedures which I didn’t see major results.

“Made my breasts normal again – Dr Gutowski was recommended by my personal doctor for breast reconstruction. After I had radiation, my left breast was deformed.

I’m so happy I finally decided to get Dysport! I didn’t realize it but I was constantly furrowing my brows during the day, I may have even furrowed my brows in my sleep!

I was nervous to see how the results would be, but I look totally like myself, “M.M.”

Dr. Gutowski is absolutely the best! He rescued me after another doctor completely botched my surgery. He kept his promises and really restored my faith in doctors. He’s the same concerned doctor after you pay him as he was before and he clearly and genuinely wants to help his patients. I’m convinced that he’s one of the few doctors who did not decide to practice medicine just for the money. Go to him and avoid “Anonymous”

I received Botox injections for my lines between my eyebrows and also to drop my upper lip down a little. I also received filler “0.”

Just got Botox here and had such a great experience. Super clean and bright office, and everyone is super friendly. The doctor took his time with my consultation and wasn’t pushy about anything.

Scar Revision Was Huge Success – I had scar revision done on 2 large scars in my abdomen. I had 3 major operations 10 years ago that left me with horrible scars.

I look years younger and am so happy to have my top lip back!The staff is very nice, down to earth and they make you feel more like you are their friend than their customer. Even though the decor is white, there is nothing sterile about their attitudes. Thank you so “J.F.”

I purchased a Groupon for Botox and was really hesitant about the quality that I would find. However, I am really pleased with this organization. Maggie Romano is so knowledgeable about her products. She spent extra time educating me and her technique with Dysport injection left me unbruised and immediately looking better. She did not try to upsell any services but gave me honest advice about how much and what I can do with my “J.B.”

Charisse is the best! I have been going to her for Botox and fillers for 5 years now. I used to live in Chicago but I moved to San Francisco 2 years ago and I fly back just so I can have my treatment done by Charisse. Totally flawless and gentle, not to mention how knowledgeable she is in skin care, plastic surgery, and aesthetics in general. I would recommend Charisse to anyone and wouldn’t “J.K.”

I’m glad I found Dr. Karol Gutowski on another website. I have seen him on multiple occasions. I didn’t feel rushed on any appointment. He makes you feel like a friend the moment you walk in. He manages to develop a personal connection and his caring demeanor is calming to even the most demanding and critical patient. I ended up getting my procedure done the same day as consultation. Very approachable, easy to talk to, “A.W.”

This was my first time at Rejuvenate. I went in for Ulthera treatment for my face and neck. Everyone was very nice and accommodating and cared about my comfort.

Great Doctor and Staff – I’ve had Botox done twice already at this clinic and results were great. Dr. Gutowski is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to explaining things. The clinic is very nice and staffed with helpful people. Dr. Gutowski spent reasonable amount of time with me explaining what’s best for me when I first decided to get Botox and he didn’t push me to use more expensive procedures. I highly recommended “E.”

Maggie is absolutely wonderful. I have followed her to 3 different locations because she is simply the best in the business. With her medical background she is able to give me an analysis on my skin and the steps that I need to take to take to have my best face forward. She is not just some assistant at a spa that was given botox to inject into people. She does a very thorough analysis “J.D.”

Let me preface this by saying, I’m not easily impressed and I don’t really respond well to ass kissing, phoniness or being judged based on how you look, the clothes you wear, the car you drive or how much money you are perceived to have.

Botox Did Wonders for Me – Champaign, IL – I was introduced to Dr. Gutowski through Becky Monson Skin Care. Dr. Gutowski is a gifted and caring professional. He and Becky Monson make a good team and they always make sure that you understand the procedures. They strive to make you comfortable and add humor as well as professionalism. Our community is lucky to have Becky Monson Skin Care and through her Dr. Karol Gutowski.

I’ve had 4 sessions at LPA so far. I purchased a groupon for laser hair removal on a small-medium area. Because I was blessed with great German farmin’ genes I get the really special opportunity to have my upper lip & chin lasered so I can stop looking like I’m taking testosterone therapy (you know, when I’m totally not). All that humiliation aside I am extremely happy with LPA and my results so far. The “K.T.”

Tummy tuck – Dr gutowski has a great team and he is very down to earth, caring, and very skilled had what he does.

Wouldn’t go to anyone else – I saw Dr Gutowski in the Champaign office. He is awesome. He listens to you and what you are wanting to acheive. I have always had a hollowness under my eyes and it has gotten worse with age and medical problems. He gave me Radiesse under my eyes. He has a special technique that gets the filler where it needs to be with very little pain. It looks great! “S.”

I bought a groupon for laser hair removal for this place and couldn’t be more pleased with the service and professionalism of their staff and cleanliness of the spa . I have gotten laser hair removal in the past and it has been pretty painful, however, the laser at Lincoln Park Aesthetics is brand new, large, powerful and advanced. If you go be sure to request request Danielle (Cervantes). She’s the best esthetician I have “M.M.”

I started seeing Erin Buxton over 4 years ago to get my skin in shape for my upcoming wedding. I immediately rebooked after leaving and have seen her every 6 – 8 weeks since. I followed her to LPA and she has worked her magic though many stages of my life. It is honestly the best investment I make in myself – not just physically but mentally. LPA itself has a warm and welcoming environment “K.H.”

I have gone to a few different places for laser hair removal treatments and Lincoln Park Aesthetics is my favorite. Danie has been my technician through all my treatments and is really great.

Not all places are like that. l have never felt pressured into buying anything, but Danie “A.S.”

I had read about the Profound (R) micropuncture radiofrequency procedure to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin of the face and neck. The photos looked fantastic, so I contacted Dr. Julia Kerolus, a facial plastics surgeon, to meet with me and explain the procedure and the science behind it and the expected timeline for results. After that i underwent the procedure at her outpatient office in Glenview. The entire process, from “Julia Kerolus”

I Waited Too Long to Do This!!! Chicago, IL – I’ve had a double chin my entire life!!!

I’m only two days out and I already look like a 2.0 version of myself.

I came from Indiana to see Dr G after a liposuction and tummy tuck that didn’t work out even after revisions by other surgeons. I was embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit because of the skin irregularities. He was able to fix the problem in his clinic using fat injections(grafts)from my own body. After 3 treatment sessions, I look so much better. It was worth the drive to Chicago.Original review on DoctorsDig.com

Also, the hair was gone in only 3 sessions, which was faster than other places I have “S.B.”

I am and still very pleased with how great they’ve been with me since I started my treatements. I’m still getting treatments done and I’m very satisfied with how the progress is coming along!

The staff is amazing and very professional. I called several places and they were the only ones who took the time to explain procedures and listen to my concerns. They were extremely professional when doing a consult as well. Their bedside manner is fantastic and they made me feel very comfortable. Leslee and Carrie Ann were impressive with their knowledge and took extra time to talk about procedures, options and concerns. Both of these ladies “M.M.”

!!! – Northbrook, IL – Dr. Gutowski was recommended to me by my fiance’s friend. After consulting with 2 other doctors who were located nearer my home, we decided that Dr. Gutowski was our best choice. He’s extremely professional. During our consult, he started discussion with the risks right away, which I thought was very informative. I felt so comfortable with him right away. We discussed what size I should get and although I hesitated “L.”

I recently had my first experience at Lincoln Park Aesthetics. I purchased a Groupon for a custom facial and upon my arrival was greeted by a very friendly staff. The front desk staff was super knowledgeable and answered questions while I was waiting for my tech. I inquired about product and other promotions and the receptionist was extremely helpful. My tech, I think her name was Megan, did a great job and my skin felt “A.S.”

Leslie D, an Aesthetician there, is great! Friendly, but more importantly, knowledgeable!! I strongly recommend seeing her for your needs.

I would recommend Dr. G to anyone and everyone! I am so pleased with my whole experience with him! He is very thourough and honest! He didn’t push anything on me and always made sure I was comfortable. I got filler injections under my eyes to help my puffy eye bags (I’m only 27 years old) and I love my results!!

I purchased a Groupon for a Custom Facial and I couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience at LPA. The hour long facial was so relaxing – dim lighting, light music playing. Danie was genuinely interested in my concerns with my skin and gave me tips and suggestions through my entire appointment. Sometimes when you buy a Groupon, you often wonder how you will be treated. Danie treated me as if I was a “K.N.”

This place is great! I purchased a Groupon for myself for my birthday for laser hair removal. I have just completed my 5th session with Erin and could not be happier with the results. Erin is professional and friendly; always asking me about my treatment as well as my latest vacation! I have one more session left on my package and will be checking out their other services when I’m done

Just had an amazing experience at Lincoln Park Aesthetics. Bought a Groupon for a facial & lucked out when I called today. They had a last minute cancellation and were able to book me same day. The staff was incredibly friendly & welcoming, and Michelle gave me an incredible facial & upper body massage. I will definitely be back!

I bought the Groupon for botox. This was my first experience with botox injections and Maggie did a wonderful job explaining the procedure from start to finish. She provided me with realistic expectations and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I am so pleased with the results that I am going to take a friend to see Maggie very soon!

They are well informed and eager to provide you the services that you need as opposed to what they feel like they need to push the sales for that week. The place is small however don’t be taken back. They have nurses and doctors as well as aestheticians.

I went in just for some botox and lip filler. Dr. Gutowski was fantastic. He explained everything and wasn’t pushy at all like other doctors I have seen in the past. I’m really liking the results and plan on going back for more procedures in the near future. I highly recommend Dr. Gutowski.

I Had an Amazing Experience – Everything was so perfect, I’m so happy!!! I’m really recommending him so nice and very professional. Before I felt so insecure but now everything is perfect so now I can start feeling secure and I know what I want the procedure it’s not that bad and not really painful.

I remember looking in other states to get a surgeon as I did extensive research on my procedure. I decided to go with Dr. Gutowski. I was nervous because I’d never had surgery performed. It was one of the best decisions I could have made. The surgery was amazing and went smoothly. I trusted him to give me his honest opinion on what he could do. He consulted with me and we did it. I’m “B.S.”

This is long overdue, but I just want to say that I’ve had the best experience here! I’ve gotten a few things done here with Maggie-PA (dysport and filler) and I am so thankful that she is so wonderful. From the time you are greeted at check-in through the time you leave you are well taken care of. Maggie is very professional and goes over every little detail and answers every question that is thrown “L.A.”

The number one thing needed after deciding to do a major surgery, is being 200% comfortable with your surgeon. We couldn\’t be happier we found Dr. G! After reading up on what procedures there are, the types of surgeries we may be looking at, healing times, etc (thank goodness for this site!) we began searching for the right surgeon. No way was I going through something so hugely important in my life, and so incredibly “Sam”

An expert in his field and he provides remarkable care to his patients. – I want to express my sincere appreciation for the care I received from Dr. Gutowski. The initial consultation was an eye opener for me. This was the first surgeon who honestly did not tell me what I wanted to hear. Dr. Gutowski was very honest about the procedure and discussed realistic results with me. He took time to research some of “D.”
R.B.
I bought a package of 6 LHR treatments and will be updating in a few more treatments. The place is clean, quiet, and cozy. Everyone is very nice and patient with any questions you may have. The entire process goes by quickly which is great news because the laser isn’t completely painless. But it will probably be worth it. I did my legs at another medical spa and saw a 10-15% reduction every time I “R.B.”

You Won’t Be Dissapointed – Dr. G was extremely helpful from the minute I met him. He answered all my questions and was honest about my needs and didn’t try to over-sell. I am extremely satisfied with both procedures; no more saggy eye-lids or bags. He contacted me personally to check up on me during my post-operative days. I highly recommend this very competent and caring surgeon. He and his staff are a pleasure to “C.”

Dr. Kerolus is a botox expert! I travel from St Louis to have her do my botox every 3-4 months. She always leaves my face looking refreshed but not overdone and her technique is painless! Not only that but she is so kind and truly listens to her patients. She leaves my face with a very natural look. Would highly recommend!!
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Adults or children who have a scar that is bothersome, unsightly, or causes self-consciousness and insecurity may be good candidates for scar revision treatment. It is important for patients who get this procedure to be aware that while this treatment is meant to improve the appearance of the scar and reduce its size, it will not make it fully disappear. The type of surgery selected will be contingent on where your scar is located, the type of scar it is, and the size, shape, and depth of it. There are a number of methods that can be used and combined to greatly reduce and improve the overall appearance of your scar.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Surgery to revise scars is typically done using a local anesthetic, depending on the extent of the procedure. For thick or bumpy scars, a shave excision can be done to level and even out the scar. IPL can usually be used in these cases to lighten the scar and make it less noticeable. Scars that are larger and raised may be reduced in size using an elliptical incision, which removes the scar and some of the tissue and skin around it. The skin is then stitched close with a new, clean line. For scars that were caused by poor closure, this can create a dramatic improvement. Large scars or contracture scars sometimes will include a skin graft or tissue expansion so that the old scar can be eliminated, allowing healthy skin to be sewn together. In some cases, it is not the size or shape of the scar that is the concern, but instead, the color or texture. There are many state-of-the-art noninvasive laser treatments that can improve the color and visibility of a scar without a surgical procedure. Also, if you have a recessed scar or one that appears "pitted," Dr. Gutowski may also discuss an injectable dermal filler product to create a more natural, even skin texture.
WHAT TO EXPECT
After a scar revision procedure, wound care is the most important component of the post-treatment process. Dr. Gutowski will give very specific rules and suggestions to help you take care of your incision so that the new scar is smaller, lighter, and thinner. Keep in mind that the scar won't be fully removed, but most scar revision surgeries can create a natural, softer appearance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does scar revision eliminate the original scar?
Scar revision surgery can significantly improve the appearance of an existing scar. It is important to have realistic expectations. The scar may not completely disappear, but it will look dramatically improved. Post-surgery care is very important when it comes to scar revision. Patients must adhere to the proper wound care protocol to promote better healing of the new wound resulting in a less visible scar.
Are there nonsurgical options for scar revision?
Not all scar revision treatments need surgery. Some scars that are smaller and that reside flat on the surface may be improved with a laser treatment, such as IPL. In addition, a scar that is pitted or recessed could look much better with an injectable filler. Surgery is only used for larger scars to recreate the incision and make it a cleaner, thinner, less noticeable line.
Does scar revision hurt?
Since some form of a local numbing ointment or anesthesia is used, patients generally experience little to no discomfort during treatment. After the procedure has been completed, you may feel itchy or experience minor swelling as the area heals, but overall, discomfort is usually not a factor.
What about sun exposure?
It is critical that once your scar has been treated to aesthetically look better to avoid sun exposure. Using a high-grade SPF is important when your skin is exposed to the sun so that discoloration of the treated area does not occur.
