Keloid ear surgery, also known as keloid excision, is a specialized procedure aimed at removing keloid scars from the ear. The first step in the procedure typically involves a thorough consultation and examination, during which the surgeon assesses the size, location, and characteristics of the keloid. On the day of the surgery, the patient is brought into a sterile operating room, and local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area and ensure patient comfort. The surgeon then makes precise incisions to carefully excise the keloid tissue. Depending on the complexity and size of the keloid, additional techniques such as advanced suturing methods or skin grafts may be utilized to optimize aesthetic outcomes and minimize recurrence risks.

After the keloid is removed, the surgeon takes great care in closing the incision using fine sutures to promote optimal healing and reduce scarring. In some cases, adjunct therapies such as corticosteroid injections, silicone sheets, or pressure earrings may be recommended post-operatively to prevent the formation of new keloids. The patient is given specific post-operative care instructions, which typically include keeping the surgical site clean, avoiding unnecessary pressure on the area, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress. It’s crucial for the patient to adhere to these guidelines to ensure the best possible outcome and minimize the risk of keloid recurrence.
