About Keloid Excision

Keloid excision is a specialized surgical procedure performed by aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons to remove raised, overgrown scar tissue that extends beyond the original wound boundaries. This procedure involves carefully cutting out the keloid while preserving surrounding healthy skin. To prevent recurrence, which is a common challenge, excision is almost always combined with adjunctive therapies such as corticosteroid injections, radiation therapy, or silicone sheeting. The goal is not only to improve the physical appearance and texture of the skin but also to alleviate associated symptoms like itching, pain, and restricted movement. It is a precise intervention aimed at restoring a smoother, more natural skin contour and enhancing the patient's comfort and confidence.

Keloids that restrict movement, especially over joints.
Cosmetically concerning keloids on visible areas like the face, ears, or neck.
Keloids that continue to grow or cause recurrent infections.
Failure of previous conservative treatments such as steroid injections, cryotherapy, or laser therapy.

How to prepare

Consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals, medical history, and review of previous keloid treatments.
Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) as advised by the surgeon.
Avoidance of smoking and alcohol for a specified period before surgery to promote healing.
Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as it is typically done under local or sedation anesthesia.
Discussion and planning for post-excision adjuvant therapy (e.g., scheduling for steroid injections or radiation).

Risks & possible complications

Recurrence of the keloid, which is the most common complication.
Infection, bleeding, or hematoma at the surgical site.
Adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Changes in skin sensation (numbness or hypersensitivity) around the scar.
Poor wound healing, widening of the new scar, or formation of a hypertrophic scar.
Skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation).

Mild pain, swelling, and redness are common and managed with prescribed medications.
Stitches are typically removed within 7-14 days, depending on the location.
Adjunctive treatments like pressure therapy (silicone sheets/gels) or corticosteroid injections often begin shortly after suture removal to prevent recurrence.
Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and direct sun exposure on the scar for several weeks. Use a high-SPF sunscreen once healed.
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing and the effectiveness of preventive measures.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (typically outpatient)
