An optimal choice for surgical scar removal should take into account the hospital's professional expertise, the surgeon's experience, and the availability of advanced medical equipment. The doctor will develop a personalized scar treatment plan based on the specific characteristics of your scar, ensuring effectiveness, safety, and reasonable cost. Various methods are available for scar treatment, primarily categorized into surgical and non-surgical approaches. Prior to surgery, the physician will conduct a comprehensive physical evaluation to confirm that the patient has no contraindications for the procedure and will advise maintaining a positive mental state. Once anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon will select the most appropriate surgical technique according to the nature of the scar, such as scar excision with primary closure, excision with free skin grafting, or flap transplantation. During the operation, the scar tissue is precisely removed, and skin grafting or flap transfer is performed as needed. After surgery, the medical team will closely monitor the patient and provide postoperative guidance to ensure optimal results and support a smooth recovery.
