Keloid scarring after brest reduction?
What's your question? Any kind of surgery can leave scarring.
Reply:"Over the years there have been a number of products developed to address this problem. One of them is Scarfade scar gel from Hanson Medical. Scarfade is a medical grade silicone gel that is applied like a cream. This product is thought to flatten and soften the scar by realigning collagen fibers. Scarfade is recommended by Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists and other medial professionals all over the world.

"The best initial treatment is to inject long-acting cortisone (steroid) into the keloid once a month. After several injections with cortisone, the keloid usually becomes less noticeable and flattens in three to six month's time. Hypertrophic scars often respond completely, but keloids and are notoriously difficult to treat, with recurrences commonly seen. People who have a family history of keloids have a higher rate of recurrence after treatment.





Cryosurgery is an excellent treatment for keloids that are small and occur on lightly pigmented skin. It is often combined with monthly cortisone injections. Earlobe keloids are often surgically excised and followed with several steroid injections. In addition, a drug called alpha-interferon has been injected into the scar immediately after keloid removal with very promising results. Laser treatment is very good at improving skin texture and color, but doesn't always flatten out the keloid."

Reply:Use Bio- oil available from most chemists and supermarkets. Excellent for scar tissue and healing. After about a month of using you should notice a remarkable difference to the look and feel of scar tissue.
