"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.
Excision of a keloid scar in combination with conservative treatment is advisable in cases where the keloid scar has small transverse dimensions on one side and protrudes significantly above the surface of the skin on the other.
Throughout the history of treatment of keloid and hypertrophic scars, a large number of methods have been proposed that have had a certain effect, but have not led to a reliable solution to the problem.
Scar elongation is necessary in cases where hypertrophic scars limit movement in the joints and/or, when stretched, cause unpleasant and even painful sensations.
In particular, it was found that the width of the scar is directly dependent on the healing conditions of the corresponding area of the wound. The most important characteristic of these conditions is the tension on the suture line.
The aesthetic characteristics of a scar are mostly subjective, since identical-looking scars can be completely satisfactory for one person and cause depression in another.
Skin scars, as an inevitable consequence of any open injury or surgery, are one of the serious problems of plastic surgery, as they remain for life and in many cases create a noticeable cosmetic defect.
