Stars Not Scars
Manage episode 364122388 series 3405398
With any surgery, it’s normal to be concerned about the scars you'll be left with and whether they heal properly. In this episode, Dr. Bass covers the different types of scars and what to do if you find yourself with an unpredictable scar during your recovery.
Two conditions which sometimes occur with scar healing are hypertrophic scars and keloid scars. A hypertrophic scar is red and thick, caused by inflammation combined with your wound healing biology and how your skin behaves. Keloid scars are the result of specific genes, growing thick, raised, and wider than the original incision or wound.
With scar issues of redness and thickening, the scar will be targeted through gel bandages, compression therapy, or lasers and energy based devices. Fractional lasers have revolutionized the treatment of scars, both traumatic and surgical. For widened scars, surgical revision is typically needed, trimming out the old scar and resewing the skin edges no sooner than 6 months after surgery.
Good scars start with good surgeries. Be cautious that you’re teaming up with a surgeon who knows how to place incisions well and treat problem scars if you’re one of the rare people whose skin reacts differently.
