As the saying goes, a person lives for face. If there is a problem with the face, it can be very troubling. Many people have various scars on their faces due to different reasons, which seriously affect their appearance and even influence their employment and marriage. They are quite eager to remove these scars. Facial scar treatment is a commonly used method by many people, but still many people do not fully understand it. Today, we will provide you with a detailed introduction about this issue.
Facial scars can be divided into the following categories:
1. Functional障碍 facial scars, such as those accompanied by eyelid eversion, mouth corner skewing, small mouth deformities, etc.
2. Large area scars that affect the beauty of the face but do not significantly hinder the function of the five senses.
3. Small facial scars, which are caused by external injuries, infections, burns or other reasons in a certain part of the facial skin.
Commonly used methods for treating facial scars:
1. Simple excision and suture method
Applicable to small and medium-sized facial scars of the third category. After removing the skin scar, the wound is carefully closed with fine needles and thin threads, leaving only a relatively thin scar line after the operation.
2. Facial scar excision plus skin grafting method
A. Applicable to patients with larger areas of scars. According to the natural shape zones of the face, a whole piece of skin is added in the zoning area. The number of parts of skin to be grafted is determined based on the amount of scar removal.
B. Applicable to patients whose entire face is covered with scars. In one operation, the entire facial scar is removed and a whole piece of skin is transplanted. This can avoid the formation of scars at the connecting places during zonal skin grafting. The postoperative appearance is better than zonal skin grafting, and the color of the face will not be too dark, with better cosmetic effects.
3. Scar repair using the flap method
Applicable to scar repairs near some facial organs, such as alar defects, eyelid eversion deformities, oral angle deformities, etc. After flap transplantation, the color is closer to the facial skin, and it can also fill and repair some concave defects in facial tissues.
4. Non-surgical treatment of facial scars
(1) Pressure therapy. Generally, after facial scar removal, the surgical incision needs to be pressurized for 6 months to 1 year, which can effectively prevent scar hyperplasia and has definite results.
(2) Drug therapy. Injecting corticosteroid suspension such as acetate prednisolone or triamcinolone acetonide into the hyperplastic scar area can make the hyperplastic scar flatten, restoring the color to or close to the normal facial skin color.
(3) Radiation therapy. For small-area facial hyperplastic scars or hyperplastic scars after surgical excision and skin grafting, superficial X-ray radiation therapy can be performed. Generally, 4 to 6 treatments can achieve good results.
(4) Microcrystal scar removal. Using the principle of vacuum particle acceleration, the dermal tissue structure of the scar area and the elastic fibers and collagen fibers in the subcutaneous tissue are quickly reorganized in a regular manner through spiral acceleration nano-crystals, promoting the regeneration of epidermal cells and gradually making the scar fade.
We have introduced the methods of facial scar treatment in a very organized way for you. We hope this information will be helpful to you. At the same time, we encourage everyone to choose a qualified plastic surgery hospital according to your actual situation and cooperate with the doctor's surgery to realize your beauty plan.
