Scar correction with personalized treatment and natural aesthetic result

Scars are the natural result of the skin's healing process after injury, surgery, burn, acne or other skin damage. Although they are part of normal healing, they can sometimes be severe, hypertrophic or significantly affect the person's aesthetic image and self-confidence.

Modern plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology now have many effective options for improving the appearance of scars. Depending on the type, age and location of the scar, the appropriate treatment or a combination of techniques can be selected to achieve maximum aesthetic restoration.

What are scars?

A scar is the new tissue that the body creates when a wound heals. This process is normal and necessary for the restoration of skin continuity.

However, the quality of the scar varies from person to person and is influenced by factors such as:

• the age

• the skin type

• the genetic predisposition

• the body area

• the extent of the injury

• proper postoperative care

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess local fat from specific areas of the body.

Using a special microcannula, the fat is broken down and sucked out, resulting in the area acquiring a more uniform, thin and shapely contour.

When is scar correction indicated?

Treatment may be recommended when the scar:

• is strongly evident
• shows redness or hypertrophy
• causes itching or discomfort
• creates a functional limitation
• causes psychological burden
• affects the aesthetics of the face or other visible parts of the body

A proper assessment by a specialized plastic surgeon is essential in order to select the most suitable treatment method.

What types of scars are treated?

The treatment can be applied to:

Scars from surgical procedures

Scars from injuries

Acne scars

Burn scars

Keloid scars

Hypertrophic scars

Scars after cesarean section

Scars after removal of moles or skin lesions

How is the appropriate treatment chosen?

Treatment is individualized depending on:

the type of scar

its size

her position

the age of the scar

the color of the skin

the patient's age

any co-existing diseases

taking medication

aesthetic expectations

In many cases, a combination of different techniques offers the best result.

Scar correction methods?

Laser

Modern Fractional Laser and CO₂ Laser are widely used to improve the texture and appearance of scars. Laser can help: smooth the scar reduce redness improve texture stimulate new collagen production

It is one of the most popular options for acne scars and surgical scars. Corticosteroid injections

Cortisone injections are primarily used for: hypertrophic scars and keloids.

The goal is to reduce the volume of the scar and improve its appearance. Dermal Fillers

In atrophic scars, such as many acne scars, fillers can be used to temporarily lift the area and smooth the skin surface. Chemical Peeling

Chemical peeling can improve superficial scars and discolorations through controlled skin renewal. Surgical scar correction

When a scar is particularly large, unsightly, or causes functional problems, surgical excision and re-suturing may be performed. The new scar is designed to achieve a better aesthetic outcome and reduced visibility. Skin grafts or local flaps: Extensive scars—particularly those resulting from burns or severe injuries—may require more specialized reconstructive techniques. Keloid and hypertrophic scars: The two most common types of problematic scars are hypertrophic scars and keloids.

Hypertrophic scars

They are characterized by: intense redness, raised surface, remaining within the boundaries of the original wound, possible itching. Keloid scars.

Keloid scars:

develop several months after the injury extend beyond the boundaries of the original lesion may cause pain or itching are associated with a genetic predisposition Their treatment often includes a combination of treatments to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Gynecomastia diagnosis

If an adult man notices an increase in the size of his breasts, it is important to consult a specialized doctor.

The diagnosis is based on:

• Clinical examination

• Medical history

• Supersonic

• Mammography, where deemed necessary

• Hormonal control

In this way, it is determined whether it is true gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia.

Gynecomastia diagnosis

Anesthesia depends on the technique that will be applied.

• When the mammary gland is removed, general anesthesia is performed.

• When only excess fat is removed with liposuction, local anesthesia with sedation may be used.

In the case of local anesthesia with sedation, the patient returns home after a few hours. If general anesthesia is used, they usually stay in the clinic overnight and are discharged the next day.

What do scars look like?

If only liposuction is performed, the scars are very small, approximately 4 millimeters, and almost indistinguishable.

If the mammary gland is removed, the scars are located around the areola. After 2 to 3 months they usually fade and become hardly noticeable.

When are the results visible?

The first image of the result is visible after 1 to 2 weeks, when the swelling has significantly subsided.

The final result is visible after approximately 4 weeks, when the breast has acquired its final shape.

Is the result permanent?

Yes. After the surgery, the patient is free from gynecomastia for life.

Maintaining a stable body weight and avoiding factors that may affect hormones help maintain the result.
