"Z" plasty for scar removal method: The correction of scar contracture deformities usually involves completely excising the scar and then repairing the wound with skin grafts or flaps. This type of reconstructive surgery is more complex than other scar removal methods, typically requiring inpatient treatment under general anesthesia. The surgical site may take several weeks to months to fully heal, followed by the application of elastic bandages for about a year. While this method can significantly improve functional recovery in the scarred area, the transplanted skin may not perfectly match the surrounding skin in color and structure, resulting in less satisfactory cosmetic outcomes. Some patients may still require "Z" plasty.
"Z" plasty is a surgical technique that repositions the scar tissue so it aligns parallel or overlaps with the natural skin lines and folds, making it less visible. It also alleviates excessive skin tension caused by scar contractures. "Z" plasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, with sutures being removed about one week after surgery. The suture scars will not be very noticeable but cannot be completely eliminated. However, not all scars are suitable for this surgery; it requires experienced plastic surgeons to determine if it is necessary.
Finally, it should be noted that scar tissue cannot be completely eliminated. The effectiveness of scar removal surgery depends on the size and direction of the scar, the characteristics and texture of the skin, and long-term postoperative care. In the early stages after scar removal surgery, the appearance of the scar may look worse than before the surgery. Do not panic, because the final results of the surgery will not be evident until at least one year after the scar removal surgery. For more information, please visit the official website.
