BEFORE & AFTER

Keloid Repair

Some scars from surgery or trauma do not heal normally due to genetics, infection or sub-optimal stitching. These scars can be thick, wide, red and painful. This is called keloid or hypertrophic scarring. Proper removal of these abnormal scars necessitates complete excision of the scar and careful stitching, along with the proper medications. The most common areas for keloid are ears, chest, abdomen and back.
