About Scar and Keloid Revision
True scar revision is about more than just cutting; it is about preventing the keloid from returning. We perform complete core excisions followed by intralesional steroid injections to minimize recurrence, ensuring we preserve the natural contours of the skin, whether it is on the face or the earlobe.
Understanding Scar Revision
Not all scars respond to lasers or creams. When a scar is deep, thick, or a keloid—a type of raised scar tissue that grows beyond the injury site—surgical intervention is often the most effective path. Our approach focuses on removing the damaged tissue while minimizing the risk of it growing back.
The Keloid Removal Process
Keloids, particularly those resulting from ear piercings, require specific surgical handling.
- Core Excision: We remove the hardened scar tissue down to the root.
- Recurrence Prevention: This is the most critical step. We inject Triamcinolone Acetonide (steroid) directly into the wound edges during surgery to suppress overgrowth.
- Fine Suturing: We use thin monofilament nylon stitches—thinner than a strand of hair—to close the site, which helps reduce visible marks during healing.
Recovery and Expectations
Post-surgery, we provide specific pressure dressings to help the tissue heal flat. You will need to return to our clinic for suture removal, typically 7 to 10 days after the procedure. While we focus on precision to ensure the site looks as natural as possible, we are upfront: no surgery leaves zero trace, but our goal is to make the scar significantly less noticeable and comfortable.
Pricing
Surgical Scar and Keloid Revision procedures are priced between ₹5500 and ₹8500 per site, depending on the complexity of the area. This fee includes the local block, the excision, the aesthetic closure, and follow-up for suture removal.
