Keloid Surgery

What is KELOID SURGERY?

Keloids are thick and irregular-looking scars. They usually have a shiny, raised appearance and can cause minor discomfort. They range from flesh color to red or purple and can develop a variety of textures. Keloid scars are usually harmless, but some people find them distressing. In rare cases, they can be itchy, painful, or uncomfortable. Once keloids start to form, they can continue to grow for years, causing the scar to increase in size. Some keloids can grow as large as a grapefruit!

What are the symptoms for KELOID?

Keloids come from the overgrowth of scar tissue. Keloid scars tend to be larger than the original wound. They may take weeks or months to fully develop.
