Recognising when a scar has moved beyond normal healing is an important first step.
Complex scars don't always present clearly.
They may appear as persistent symptoms, progressive functional limitation, or tissue changes that continue developing long after the wound has closed.
Early assessment can help clarify what is within the range of expected healing and what may require closer attention.
Complex scars often involve multiple dimensions, structural, functional and symptomatic.
Assessment by an experienced team allows these factors to be considered together, supporting a management plan that addresses not only appearance, but also function and quality of life.
