Is scar surgery painful?

Generally speaking, scars refer to cicatricial tissues. Scar surgery mainly involves excision, repair, reshaping, and other methods to treat scar tissues, aiming to improve the appearance of scars. The general reference price for scar surgery is 1200-2000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can usually be seen within 1-2 months, although symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching may occur. Patients typically do not feel pain during the surgery, but some degree of pain may occur after surgery. A detailed explanation is as follows:

Scar surgery is usually performed under strict anesthesia management. During the surgery, the surgeon will select an appropriate anesthesia method, such as local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia, according to the size, location of the scar, and the patient's specific condition, to ensure the patient feels no pain during the procedure. Additionally, the surgical procedure itself is precise and meticulous, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and further reducing pain.

However, after surgery, as the anesthetic effect wears off, pain may occur at the wound site. Doctors will usually provide appropriate pain relief measures according to the degree of pain. The level of postoperative pain varies from person to person and is related to individual pain sensitivity, scar size, location, and other factors. For example, scars located in areas with dense nerve distribution may result in relatively more noticeable postoperative pain.

It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo the above procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the safety and reliability of the surgery. After surgery, attention should be paid to keeping the scar area clean and moisturized, avoiding excessive friction and scratching. Additionally, auxiliary products such as scar patches and scar creams can be used to promote scar fading and flattening.
