How to prevent and treat facial scarring?

  Patients with facial scarring are often encountered in outpatient clinics, some of which are not treated properly or in a timely manner, resulting in scar proliferation or seriously affecting the patient’s aesthetics, which brings unnecessary trouble to the patient. So how to treat facial scarring?  When dealing with emergency after trauma, try to choose a physician with cosmetic experience or meticulous operation. Although the early treatment after trauma is based on clearing and stopping bleeding and treating wounds, it is still very important to avoid large needles and thick stitches when available, in order to prevent needle scarring that is difficult to treat in the future.  If you feel that the wound stitches are wide and unsightly after emergency treatment, it is recommended that you visit a professional plastic surgeon as soon as possible after surgery, and the doctor will give you an opinion on your wound condition. Remember: early treatment of wounds and scars is critical. Many patients miss the best time to prevent scar growth. The traditional view is to wait for six months after surgery before dealing with the scar, this view is now considered incorrect.  Measures for early scar prevention include: early removal of large needles and thick lines; reducing the tension of the surgical incision, special adhesive tape or tension reducer can be used, which needs to be used continuously, this is very important and should be noted by all patients; using silicone or silicone gel products, these products should be used with attention to the use cycle, generally need to be used continuously for 3-6 months; avoiding sunlight and sauna; avoiding drinking alcohol Avoid drinking alcohol or eating spicy and stimulating food.  Treatment of keloid scars: compression therapy (silicone patch or elastic sleeve); drug injection therapy, here we emphasize that drug injection therapy is useful for the treatment of keloid scars, but it needs to be carried out by experienced doctors, and there are meticulous requirements for the preparation and period of use of drugs; surgery again, please choose a professional doctor who is experienced in scar treatment, otherwise it is better to open the surgery than not to open it.  Other scar treatment methods: laser, grinding, radiotherapy, etc. Among them, laser is the most researched and used treatment method, and there are different types of lasers and treatment cycles for different scars.  Scar treatment is a comprehensive treatment system, especially for facial scarring, which is very important to the patient’s appearance and requires caution and promptness, and early scar control is of utmost importance.
