Scars correction
Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove scar completely(whether surgical or post-traumatic scar scar). However, in most cases, scars amenable to surgical correction, after which they become less noticeable. Typically, it is possible to reduce the width of the rumen, but is almost impossible to affect its length. In any case, one can make the scar less noticeable. In some cases, scar can be moved (moving the skin flaps) to less visible areas, covered with clothing, linens). It is possible, when threse is an excess of soft tissue but if the scar is, for example, on the skin of the lower leg, then by virtue of its anatomical features masking is problematic. Scars are normo – hyper – and hypertrophic. They all can be successful surgicaly corrected. Separately need to distinguish keloid scarring in people prone to keloid skin reactions to trauma. In such cases, the approach is individual and does not always involve a surgical correction. Complex schemes of conservative treatment is applied at keloid scars, which include compression therapy, corticosteroid therapy, the use of creams and silicone wafers, the selection of individual therapy aimed at normalizing the metabolism of folic acid, etc.
Post-burn contracture dermatogenic are a direct indication for surgical scar plasty . In some cases, it requires long-term preoperative preparation with local fabrics, plastics and free skin grafts. Implantation expanders and others.

Preparing for surgery
- Dermatogenic contracture
- Rough scar deformation
- Functional disorders caused by scar deformities
- Aesthetic indications

- Pyogenic disease in the intervention zone
- Lack of microcirculation in the proposed intervention zone
- Inability to complete closure of the defect
Operation
Preparation

Wearing silicon wafers on scars a month after surgery
Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, completely get rid of the scar is not possible, because the scar correction requires a new scar. But it is possible to make the most of his invisible
At any stage of scar formation it is possible surgical correction. But it should be used with caution on the conservative methods of immature scars
Each case of keloid is strictly individual. In most cases, the individual is required keloidoza, complex scheme of therapeutic and surgical effects on keloid scars. Everything is decided in the internal consultation with the surgeon
