Scar Correction and Removal of Skin Lesions
Scar correction and the removal of skin lesions are surgical procedures designed to improve the appearance of the skin by eliminating unsightly changes caused by injuries, surgeries, acne, or other skin conditions. These treatments aim not only to enhance aesthetics but also to restore patients' comfort and self-confidence.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Scar Correction
Scar correction involves surgically removing or improving the appearance of a scar. This may include excision, repositioning of the skin, or specialized stitching techniques. The goal is to make the scar less visible and its appearance more natural.
Skin Lesion Removal
Skin lesion removal focuses on eliminating growths such as moles, warts, or other marks that may be aesthetic concerns or medical issues (e.g., potential malignancy). The procedure typically involves the precise excision of the lesion followed by suturing. For benign lesions, the removal process is often quick and minimally invasive.
Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the patient experiences no pain during the surgery. Depending on the size of the scar or lesion, the procedure generally lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
Recovery
After scar correction or skin lesion removal, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or discomfort in the treated area. Recovery is usually brief, with most individuals returning to daily activities within a few days. Sutures are typically removed after 7–10 days, depending on the type and location of the procedure.
During recovery, patients are advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and use specialized moisturizing and sun protection products to minimize the risk of new scar formation. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided by the doctor during follow-up appointments.
