1.Isn’t it impossible to do surgery for scars? A: Generally speaking, the recurrence rate of scars after simple surgical excision is extremely high, we are using surgical excision + comprehensive treatment. Since our scar specialist clinic has been able to take various methods to completely control the growth of scars, we are not worried about the recurrence of scars. For larger scars, complete or partial surgical excision followed by localized radiation therapy or injection of low concentration drugs to prevent recurrence is effective. Not only can the scars be cured in a shorter period of time, but also can reduce the side effects of injected drugs, reduce the patient’s pain and the number of follow-up appointments, and the final local condition of the skin (color, elasticity) is better than that of the person who has not undergone surgery but simply injected drugs. 2.What do I need to do before the surgery? A: You need to take a shower one day before the surgery, and the curled scars need to be washed thoroughly with soap and water. For perineal and underarm scars, the surrounding hair must be shaved clean. 3.Do I need to be hospitalized? How to anesthetize? Do I need an empty stomach? A: Generally it is an outpatient surgery, no need for hospitalization, you can do it on the same day and go home on the same day. Patients who need radiotherapy need to stay in a hotel in Shanghai for 4-5 days. Anesthesia is by local infiltration anesthesia, i.e., the anesthetic solution is injected in the area around the surgery. Fasting is not required and surgery cannot be performed on an empty stomach. 4. What should I do on the day of surgery? Who will operate on me? A: For patients who have made an appointment for surgery at the main hospital, after coming to the hospital before 8:00 on the day of the appointment, go to Building 1 and register for the “Scars Clinic” (unlimited number), go to 601-8 on the 6th floor to find Dr. Wu to take pictures, and then go to 608 to find Dr. Wu to open the surgical order. After the order is made, go to the charge desk to pay, take a blood test on the first floor, then give the operation order, blood test report, medical record and magnetic card to the nurse at the 606 bar, and then sit outside the operating room and wait for the number to be called. Surgery is usually performed by a surgeon from our specialty clinic for all scar patients. For patients who have made an appointment for surgery at a branch clinic, they bring their medical records to the branch clinic on the day of their appointment and hand them to the bar, register for a blood test, wait for me to arrive and write a surgery order, pay for it, and have the surgery. I will personally perform the surgery. 5.Do I need to take injection after surgery? A: Generally not needed, oral antibiotics for 3 days can be. 6.Do I need to take painkillers? A: Generally not needed. 7.When will I change the medicine and remove the stitches after surgery? Can I go to another hospital? A: Usually change the medicine on the third day after surgery (sterilize the incision and change clean gauze). For our surgery patients, the stitches are usually removed in 5-6 days for head and face and 6-7 days for other parts. At the end of the surgery, your doctor will tell you exactly when to change the dressing and remove the stitches, and write it down in your chart in case you forget. You can go home and change the medicine and remove the stitches in the local hospital. 8.When will I start taking injections after surgery? A: For patients who have undergone radiotherapy after surgery, the first follow-up is usually 1 month after surgery, and every 2 months thereafter if the recovery is good. For patients who have not undergone radiotherapy, the first follow-up appointment after surgery is usually 1 month after surgery and every 2 months thereafter if they have recovered well. For post-surgery follow-up, you must come to the Scar Clinic of the Nine Hospitals. If you are afraid of trouble and don’t come for treatment without authorization, your scars are very likely to recur. 9.What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Can I eat seafood? Can I eat soy sauce? A: Whether or not surgery, as long as you have scars, you need to follow the principle of “avoiding smoking, avoiding alcohol, avoiding spicy and stimulating food. Soy sauce can be eaten. As for seafood, it depends on the individual. Some people are allergic to seafood, after eating the body rash, scars become red and itchy, then do not eat. If there is no bad reaction, then you can continue to eat seafood, but in general, do not eat a lot of meat and fish “to make up for the body”, the diet should be light. 10, other attention? A: women should not operate during menstruation; colds, fever, diarrhea, try not to operate during the operation; the operation area and the surrounding infected people try not to operate (except for long-term chronic infection of the scars); hypertension, coagulation disorders try not to operate. Patients with high blood pressure can have surgery if their blood pressure is controlled within the normal range by oral antihypertensive drugs. Patients who have been taking oral anticoagulant drugs for a long time must stop taking such drugs 3 days before surgery. Other patients whose Informed Consent for Scar Treatment states that long-term medication is contraindicated should not undergo surgery.
