Keloid Scars
Raised scars that grow beyond the original wound and tend to recur. Treated with a combined plan — careful excision plus injections and pressure — rather than surgery alone.
Scars behave differently depending on how they formed — and that changes how they should be treated. Here are the main types Dr. Erdal treats, and the approach for each.
Raised scars that grow beyond the original wound and tend to recur. Treated with a combined plan — careful excision plus injections and pressure — rather than surgery alone.
Thick, raised scars that stay within the wound edges. Often respond well to silicone, pressure and steroid injections, with revision for stubborn cases.
Tight scars — often after burns — that pull the skin and can restrict movement across a joint. Released and reconstructed with flaps, grafts or Z-plasty.
Depressed, pitted scars including ice-pick, boxcar and rolling acne scars. Improved with subcision, laser, microneedling, TCA CROSS or fat grafting.
Widened, raised or poorly positioned scars from previous operations or injuries — re-excised and re-closed as a finer, better-oriented line.
Complex scars that may be raised, contracted or discoloured. Reconstructed to restore both function and appearance, often in stages.
Scars from accidents, cuts or lacerations, including facial scars, refined with excision, geometric revision and resurfacing.
Identifying the scar type is the first step, and it's often clear from a good photo. Dr. Erdal will review your scar, tell you what type it is, and explain what can realistically be improved.
