"The creation of nature is always more perfect than any artificial creation," Cicero said many centuries ago, but a modern woman has a different point of view on this score and plastic surgery comes to her aid.
The excision of a keloid scar in combination with conservative treatment is advisable in those cases when the keloid scar has small transverse dimensions on one side and extends considerably above the surface of the skin on the other.
In the history of the treatment of keloid and hypertrophic scars, a large number of methods have been suggested that have had a certain effect, but have not led to a reliable solution to the problem.
Lengthening of scars is necessary in those cases when scars of hypertrophic nature limit movements in the joints and (or) under tension cause unpleasant and even painful sensations.
In particular, it was found that the width of the scar is directly related to the healing conditions of the wound site concerned. The most important characteristic of these conditions is the tension on the seam line.
The aesthetic characteristic of the scar is mainly subjective, since the scars of the same kind can absolutely suit one person and cause a depressive state in another.
Skin scars, as an inevitable consequence of any open trauma or surgery, constitute one of the major problems of plastic surgery, as they remain for life and in many cases create a noticeable cosmetic defect.
