Frequently Asked Questions About Keloid Removal
If I undergo keloid surgery, will I get another one?
Probably not, since the appearance of keloids is something exceptional. It doesn’t have to be repeated.
Is removal painful?
Not at all, the entire keloid area will be anesthetized.
In which cases is a keloid removal surgery necessary?
It is not very common, but there is a chance that a scar will begin to change its shape or appearance after an operation. It can also happen that the scar is simply too large or is in a place where it is unsightly.
What precaution should I take before the operation?
The keloid removal process is quite common and simple to perform. There are no great indications before this intervention. One point to keep in mind is to avoid contact of the scar with sunlight, to protect the area before the operation.
What kind of anesthesia is used?
In the vast majority of cases, the use of local anesthesia is enough to numb the area and be able to make the incision. In any case, the final decision on this and other matters is left to the specialist surgeon who will perform the intervention.
Can the problem reappear?
No, the results of keloid removal are permanent, so there is no chance of the problem recurring. However, it is worth noting that the new scar must receive the care and recommendations of our specialists for proper healing.
