The concern about scars after chest surgery is a common problem for many patients. In particular, if the scar is noticeable after surgery or a bloody scar such as keloid occurs, you may feel uncomfortable in the aesthetic area. In order to solve these concerns, we will take a closer look at the mini-incision and scar management methods.
The armpit incision method is a method of hiding the incision under the arm during chest surgery. This method is one of the ways to minimize scars, and generally has the advantage of being inconspicuous than making an incision in the center or lower part of the chest. Armpit incision is evaluated as excellent in terms of aesthetics because the scars are not easily visible after surgery.
Kelloid scarring is a phenomenon that transcends the surrounding skin as excessive scar tissue grows and can often occur in some people. In particular, it is characterized by protruding scars and darkening the color. Patients with a high probability of developing these keloids need proper management after surgery.
There are several ways to prevent and treat keloids and bloody scars. The most important thing is initial treatment. Scar management should begin in the initial stage of scar formation after surgery. For example, compression treatment, silicone gel sheet, laser treatment, etc. are known as effective methods. In particular, silicone gel sheet helps reduce the size and color of scarring. The silicone gel sheet applied for a certain period of time after surgery prevents the scar from growing excessively and softens the existing scar.
Kim Ji-yeon, director of Wish Plastic Surgery Kim Ji-yeon, said, "Thinking about scarring after chest surgery is a very important issue, but it can be sufficiently solved with proper incision method and thorough scar management. It can be particularly suitable for patients who are worried about bloody scars such as keloids."
He added, "Initial scar management after surgery is important, and if necessary, receiving systematic treatment with the help of a specialist will greatly help minimize scarring."
