Keloid Removal
Description
Keloid removal is a medical procedure aimed at excising keloid scars, which are overgrown, raised areas of fibrous tissue that usually form after skin injuries heal. The first step in the procedure typically involves a detailed consultation with a dermatologist or surgeon to assess the size, location, and characteristics of the keloid. Once the decision is made to proceed with the removal, the area around the keloid is sterilized and anesthetized using local anesthesia to ensure the patient does not experience pain. The surgeon then makes precise incisions around the keloid, carefully dissecting and removing the scar tissue while attempting to minimize damage to the surrounding healthy skin. After the keloid is excised, the surgeon may employ various techniques to reduce the risk of the keloid returning. This may include suturing the wound with minimal tension, applying corticosteroid injections to the area to inhibit excessive collagen formation, or using radiation therapy in more severe cases. Following the procedure, the patient will be given specific post-operative care instructions including keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous activities, and possibly applying silicone sheets or gels to optimize healing. Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor the site for any signs of infection or recurrence, ensuring the best aesthetic and functional outcomes.
