- Skin flap: In case of contracture scars, scar tissue is removed completely and skin flaps from healthy un-scarred parts are moved to the scarred area to form a new incision line.
- Skin graft: This technique is used when a flap is not possible. It involves taking a section of skin tissue and attaching it to the treatment area. This technique requires time for the new soft tissues and blood vessels to form.
