What should I do if the scar becomes raised after skin grafting surgery?

Among modern medical technologies, various surgeries are the most advanced and reliable. For example, skin grafting is often used in cases of burns or plastic surgery. Although this method is relatively advanced, various problems will arise once it is implemented, which is very distressing. For example, what should I do if the scar becomes raised after skin grafting? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Scar hyperplasia after skin grafting surgery is a very common scar case. Generally, for scars that proliferate after skin grafting surgery, we recommend using non-surgical methods for treatment. Of course, the scar treatment plan needs to be finally determined based on the scar's constitution, scar location, and specific symptoms. In addition, once a skin grafting surgery scar is formed, it is difficult to remove. It can only be improved to make it closer to normal skin, because patients also need to adjust their expectations for treatment.

Scars on people with scar-prone constitution have strong proliferative power. To avoid traumatic treatment methods, scar removal instruments can be used to repair scars without surgery, which can fade scars and restore them to a smooth and flat state.

Laser scar removal is more effective in treating scars. The principle of laser scar removal is to change the focusing characteristics of the laser so that the laser point becomes a light spot, and then use a pattern generator to scan the light spot according to a certain pattern, so that the high heat generated by the laser spot in an instant will remove the target tissue within the scanning range. It is recommended that patients go to a regular dermatology hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

In this case, there is generally no specific medicine. You can apply aloe vera gel, scar-smoothing ointment and other treatments. It is recommended to follow the doctor's instructions. Relax and after the scab falls off, you can use aloe vera gel or scar remover to restore your skin.

Scars can be bandaged with elastic bandages to apply pressure to avoid deep infection and reduce inflammatory response. The transplanted skin is relatively fragile, so do not scratch it. You can also wait until the skin stabilizes before removing the scar.
