Can scars on people with scar-prone constitutions be removed?

Although our bodies look similar on the surface, everyone's physique is very different. Especially for those with scar-prone physiques, they will be particularly careful not to get injured in life, because once a person with a scar-prone physique gets injured, scars will spread at the injured site. Many people feel that scars are ugly and want to use surgery to remove the scars. However, there are many things to pay attention to when doing this, because the scar removal surgery may also leave scars on the body.

1. Scar removal surgery

The doctor must fully communicate with the patient to understand the expected effect the patient wants to achieve, and carefully analyze the size, location, shape, and cause of the scar, and choose the best excision plan based on the patient's physical condition. Scar removal surgery can completely remove scars in one go for patients whose scars are of moderate size, location and shape that are suitable for scar removal. For larger scars, they can be removed in stages. After the operation, the originally obvious scar will be reduced to a thin line that is no longer noticeable.

2. Scar treatment: surgery first, then injection.

Doing so can not only heal scars in a shorter period of time, but also reduce the side effects of injected drugs, reduce pain and the number of follow-up visits. The final local skin condition after healing, such as color and elasticity, is better than that of patients who have not undergone surgery but only received injected drugs. Scar excision surgery is used in conjunction with other methods to treat scars, such as scar excision plus skin grafting. Scar excision is also indispensable in skin and soft tissue expansion surgery. It can be said that scar excision is indispensable in many scar treatment plans today.

3. Minor scar surgery can usually be performed in an outpatient clinic

No hospitalization is required and you can go home on the same day. Experts say that this scar removal is actually a very minor operation. The surgery uses local infiltration anesthesia, which is highly safe and does not require preoperative fasting. The effectiveness of scar removal surgery is related to one's physical condition, but for people with scar-prone constitution, scar removal surgery is not suitable.

4. After surgery

You only need to take oral antibiotics for another 7 days, and generally no painkillers are needed. Dressings are changed on the second and fourth days after routine surgery, stitches are removed on the head and face after 5 days, on the trunk after 10 days, and on the limbs after 14 days. But this is not absolute. Generally, at the end of the operation, the doctor will tell the patient the specific time for changing the dressing and removing the stitches and write it in the medical record. Generally, drug injections will begin about 10 days after stitches are removed or depending on the actual situation. If you are afraid of trouble and do not go to the hospital for drug treatment without authorization, the scar is likely to recur.
