Nowadays, every family attaches great importance to their children, and when they are small, they are very active and playful, so they will inevitably have bumps and bruises. So who should I call for treatment for my child after a bump? Many parents rush to the hospital when their child has a traumatic injury, and then get stitches in the emergency department, resulting in many children growing up with centipede-like stitching scars. So why do you need a plastic surgeon to perform sutures after a trauma? Because plastic surgeons have some great tips for wound closure. The first point is that when we plastic surgeons treat wounds, we treat the edges of the wound first and then the deeper part of the wound. The second point is that the suturing methods of plastic surgeons are extremely different from those of doctors in other departments. Plastic surgeons take a meticulous layered approach to suturing. For example, for a traumatic injury to the forehead, the plastic surgeon sutures at least three layers: the muscle layer, the fat layer, and the dermis. If the epidermis also needs to be sutured, the number of layers will be four. In the selection of sutures, plastic surgeons use imported absorbable sutures in the deeper layers and sutures thinner than a hair on the surface of the skin, so that the wound will not leave a scar and heal faster and better. Plastic surgeons have their own methods in dealing with ligatures of some wounds and preventing scar growth. Therefore, it is important to seek plastic surgery to treat wounds after trauma so that scarring will be minimal. It is important to note here that it is not that there will be no scarring, but that the plastic surgeon will minimize the scarring and use a set of methods unique to plastic surgery to prevent scarring and other problems.
