Children are full of curiosity about the world, but they are not aware of the dangers around them. Scratches, bumps and burns are hard to avoid, which makes them a vulnerable group for scarring. Many parents want to give their children a treatment to completely eliminate scars, even if it is surgery, but I have stopped parents from having surgery in most cases. Undoubtedly, the most ideal way to treat scars is through surgery followed by hypertonic fine suturing to fade the scars. But why is surgery not recommended when the baby is still young? This is determined by the baby’s growth and development conditions. Facial Scars First of all, scar treatment and recovery is long-term rather than instantaneous. During the recovery process, as the baby grows and develops, the baby’s face will grow, and even with the post-surgical decompression of the scar, it will be difficult to resist the tension of the skin’s natural growth, which may lead to a series of problems such as wider scars and noticeable depressions after the surgery. It is best to wait until the baby’s face is about the same size as the adult’s face in the family before having the surgery. Hyperplastic scars on body parts If your baby has hyperplastic scars on his or her body, it is even more important to pay attention to them. Proliferative scars are prone to hyperplasia after surgery. If you are an adult, you can have radiation therapy or medication injections after surgery, but radiation therapy and medication injections are not recommended for babies, not to mention that babies have high hormone levels when they are growing, which makes the scars more prone to hyperplasia. Unless the scar affects the functional use of body parts, such as: hands and feet can not move because of the scar, or cause serious impact on the baby’s heart, in which case early surgical treatment can be carried out. Suggested age for treatment: at least 12-14 years old All things considered, unless there are special circumstances, babies should be at least 12-14 years old before undergoing scar revision surgery. Baby moms who want to solve their child’s scar problem as early as possible can do so by using laser. In the early stage of scar formation, some scar removal creams can be prescribed to prevent scar growth after diagnosis by a doctor.
