Surgical removal does not completely remove the scar, but makes it much less noticeable.
Rough, thick and large scars are corrected after cuts, burns, acne, sudden weight loss, wound healing and sloppy operations.
At the consultation, the plastic surgeon examines and measures the scar, assesses the condition of the skin, talks about the course of the operation and the features of the rehabilitation period.
The operation consists in excising the skin where the scar passes. The edges are then re-stitched. After the procedure, a barely noticeable and thin scar remains. With a large lesion, for example, after burns, skin grafting is possible.
The duration of the correction depends on the scale of the scar and ranges from 30 minutes to two hours. It does not require a stay in the hospital - you can leave the clinic a couple of hours after the procedure.
The operation takes place under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. But the consultation of an anesthesiologist is mandatory - this is a standard that avoids undesirable consequences.
Swelling and bruising after surgery disappear in a few days. For a month, you should abandon physical exertion and trips to the sauna.
Stretch marks, retracted streaks and other scars due to the rupture of connective tissue under the skin.
Do not protrude above the level of the skin, differ little in color from the rest of the skin, painless.
Dark scars protrude over the skin due to an excess of collagen, which does not have time to dissolve.
Purple and purple growths, protrude above the skin, go beyond the wound, itch and hurt.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are more often subject to removal
After a cesarean section, transverse or longitudinal scars remain on the abdomen. They are usually thick and rough, because gynecologists apply sutures in one layer, and not in layers. In this case, the scars are indented.
In this case, the plastic surgeon excises the skin of the scar and applies new stitches that will look more aesthetically pleasing. If the scar is thin, you can improve its appearance with the help of lipofilling. Through special needles with a blunt end, fat cells are collected from other parts of the body, they are cleaned of impurities and injected into the desired zones. This procedure is effective for the correction of atrophic scars and lasts about an hour.
