Scar formation is a natural reaction of the skin to injury, burns, or surgery. Normally, the scar is a painless, light, inconspicuous strip. In all other cases, it is possible to perform a special aesthetic operation, which makes it possible to eliminate rough deforming scars after previous surgical interventions or injuries, to give them a more accurate and less pronounced appearance.
INDICATIONS FOR SCAR CORRECTION
- unaesthetic form of the scar after operative surgery or a healed injury;
- atrophic (depressed) scar located below the surface of the skin;
- stretch marks (striae) – scars resulting from severe stretching of the skin as a result of pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations;
- hypertrophic scar – tissue growth as a result of inflammation or non-compliance with recommendations for recovery after surgery, has the form of a bright pink roller above the skin surface;
- keloid scar – a pathological change in the scar, caused by a special reaction of the body to damage. As a rule, it has a bright color, protrudes strongly above the surface of the skin and is painful when touched.
Aesthetic correction of scars and scars is not performed until the age of 18, during pregnancy and lactation, in violation of blood clotting (hemophilia), as well as in decompensated diseases of the cardiovascular system and respiratory tract, systemic diseases, decompensated diabetes mellitus, etc.
HOW SCAR CORRECTION IS PERFORMED
The main goal of the operation is to make scars and scars as less noticeable as possible. Depending on the type of scar and its size, a correction method is chosen – from exclusively cosmetic to combined, including, among other things, surgical excision of the deformed scar. With regard to keloid scars, before aesthetic correction, preliminary preparation is mandatory (as a rule, these are injection, laser, microcurrent and drug therapy).
During the operation, an unaesthetic scar and damaged areas of the skin are carefully removed with the application of cosmetic intradermal sutures in order to obtain a light, thin scar of the correct shape after healing.
Surgical correction of scars is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes from 30 to 60 minutes. After the operation, a long stay in the hospital is not required.
