What are the best ways to remove surgical scars?

In life, we are bound to get hurt or suffer from certain diseases that require surgery, which will leave certain scars on the skin. For women who love beauty, these scars will directly affect their appearance. In response to this, there are many methods of scar removal on the market, such as taking medications, applying lotions, and scar removal and repair surgery at beauty salons. This article briefly introduces some methods of surgical scar removal.

Scars left after surgery will inevitably affect your appearance and image, especially those that are not covered by clothes or makeup. Everyone wants to be beautiful, so many people are troubled by how to reduce scars after surgery. To fade surgical scars, you need to be patient and do a lot of meticulous care, including care during the postoperative recovery phase and whitening and scar removal after recovery. Maintenance and conditioning during the recovery process are critical to the final scar size and color. Therefore, you must pay attention to maintenance after surgery and cannot wait until the scar is finally formed before thinking about lightening it. General scars can be lightened through self-conditioning and maintenance, but some serious surgical scars are difficult to lighten by themselves and can only be lightened through medical techniques such as plastic surgery. There are countless methods for scar removal, so this article focuses on the care of surgical wounds during recovery to reduce scars from the root cause.

It is understandable to worry about scars affecting your appearance. However, if you want to take measures to reduce scars, you must do so after you have fully recovered. You cannot do this before the surgical wound has fully healed. During the healing period, the cells around the surgical wound are growing rapidly and in large quantities. If blind measures are taken to reduce the scars, it is likely to affect the reproduction of the wound cells and deepen the scar after recovery. Therefore, during the wound healing period, just wait for the body's own healing ability to repair the surgical wound and do not take any measures to reduce the scar. This will be more conducive to reducing the scar in the future.

For some minor surgeries, such as removing fish hooks or broken glass, some patients think that it is not a big deal and want to avoid the trouble of going to the hospital to remove the stitches, so they often refuse the doctor to suture the wound. However, after returning home, they often touch the wound due to life and work, which causes the wound to not heal completely for a long time. It may also cause inflammation due to bacterial infection and other reasons. Finally, the size and color of the scar after the wound is completely healed is unexpected. Therefore, even if it is a minor operation, you should not be careless or lazy. You must suture the wound to speed up wound healing and prevent the scar from expanding.

After surgery, you should pay attention to wound care to prevent wound inflammation, because wound inflammation will cause the scar to be larger and darker in color after recovery. Be sure to take anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's instructions and on time. Do not let the wound get wet at will, and do not let the wound come into contact with dirty things. Some people wrap their wounds tightly to prevent them from being exposed to the air and infected by bacteria. This will cause the wound to be blocked from ventilation and prone to sweating, which can easily lead to wound inflammation. Therefore, when bandaging the wound, be sure to use medical gauze to facilitate breathability, and wipe off the sweat stains around the wound with sterile gauze or cotton in time.

When the human body is injured, artificial colors will precipitate at the wound, eventually causing the scar to be very dark in color. Therefore, during the healing period of surgical wounds, try not to eat foods with high content of artificial colors, such as soy sauce, industrially produced blended fruit juices and beverages, jams, etc.

Before the surgical wound has healed, it is best not to expose the wound to the strong sun, otherwise the color of the wound will be darker in the future after being burned by the sun.

After surgery, the wound site often itches, especially if it becomes inflamed. When encountering this situation, never scratch it with your hands, otherwise it will easily lead to bacterial infection, inflammation and pus discharge, which will eventually cause granulation tissue to grow on the scar, expand the scar and cause pigmentation.

The muscles and skin cells at the scar site are relatively fragile. If medications are used indiscriminately, it is likely to cause the scar to rupture, which will not only aggravate the scar in the future, but may also cause secondary bacterial infection in the surgical wound after healing. There are many ways to lighten lighter scars, and you can use various daily whitening methods to lighten pigmentation. For more serious scars, various folk remedies are often unable to effectively reduce them. To completely reduce them, it is recommended that you seek medical attention and use medical techniques. Do not blindly use various folk remedies, otherwise improper treatment may aggravate the scars.

There are many scar removal products on the market. For common scars, regular products are still effective. Many people recommend using highly irritating items such as ginger, chili peppers, and garlic to remove scars. However, if you have skin that is easily allergic, it is not recommended to use these irritating items, as they can easily accidentally injure the skin and muscles where the scars are located, and if they do happen, it will have no effect on scar removal.
