Keloids, characterized by the overgrowth of scar tissue, can be more than a physical concern—they can affect self-esteem and body confidence. Keloid excision, a specialized surgical procedure, offers a solution to those seeking relief from the discomfort and aesthetic impact of keloid scars. This transformative process not only addresses the physical aspects but also empowers individuals to reclaim control over their skin and confidence.
The decision to undergo keloid excision is often motivated by the desire to reduce the size and visibility of keloid scars, which can be caused by injuries, surgeries, or even minor skin trauma. Beyond the aesthetic considerations, the procedure may bring relief from symptoms such as itching, tenderness, or pain associated with keloid formation.
In the initial consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon, a comprehensive evaluation of the keloid's characteristics, the patient's medical history, and their individual goals is conducted. This detailed assessment guides the development of a personalized treatment plan, taking into account factors such as the keloid's size, location, and the patient's skin type.
Keloid excision involves the careful removal of excess scar tissue, often followed by techniques to minimize the risk of recurrence. The surgeon may employ methods such as meticulous closure, steroid injections, or silicone sheeting to optimize the healing process and reduce the likelihood of new keloid formation.
