Facial suture scar repair

Any part of our body can be injured and require stitches. Stitches are very helpful for wound healing, but after the wound recovers, it is easy to leave scars. Scars left by stitches on the face will have a great impact on your image. So, what are the methods for repairing facial suture scars? Let’s take a closer look below.

Indications : 1. Contracture deformity and functional impairment of varying degrees caused by various scars. 2. Although there is no scar, contracture deformity or functional disorder, the normal appearance is affected and mental and psychological burden is caused to the patient. 3. Although atrophic scars or unstable scars do not have obvious contracture, scar repair surgery is necessary to prevent the occurrence of scar ulcers. 4. To prevent scar ulcers from becoming cancerous, scar ulcers can be completely removed at an early stage.

Surgical method: Simple excision and suture. This method is suitable for small and medium-sized facial scars. After facial scar repair surgery, only a thin scar line is left. Sometimes, for people with tight skin and a slightly larger scar area, the scar can be removed in stages. However, the first and second operations are generally separated by more than half a year.

Skin flap transplantation is also a commonly used method for scar repair near some facial organs.

At this time, the facial area can be divided into different areas according to the natural shape of the face (forehead, nose, upper and lower eyelids, upper and lower lips, and mandible), and the amount of skin grafted can be determined based on the amount of scar excised. Dermabrasion Dermabrasion is a surgical method that involves grinding the epidermis and papillary dermis to improve irregularities on the skin surface, making it smooth and flat and similar in color. It is suitable for superficial scars left over from acne, smallpox, chickenpox, shingles, eczema, trauma, burns or surgery. If necessary, it can be performed simultaneously with scar surgical excision, and the effect is better than simple grinding.
