Intervention
Removal of inflammation that can occur after surgical incisions.

Keloid Removal, also known as Surgical Scar Correction Surgery ("Scar modeling"),or simply Keloids, is a cosmetic surgery operation that removes fat inflammation that can occur after surgical incisions, ear piercings, or many other types of trauma to the skin.

The degree of the keloid varies from person to person and depends on several factors including Skin type, Gender, age, elasticity. A flap is created to preserve some overlying skin and aid in the closure after Keloids are removed.^[1]

History

Keloids were described by Egyptian surgeons around 1700 BC. Baron Jean-Louis Alibert (1768–1837) identified the keloid as an entity in 1806.^[2] He called them cancroïde, later changing the name to chéloïde to avoid confusion with cancer. The word is derived from the Greek χηλή, chele, meaning "hoof", here in the sense of "crab pincers", and the suffix -oid, meaning "like". For many years, Alibert's clinic at Hôpital Saint-Louis was the world’s center for dermatology.

Cause

Keloids are a result of inflammation that can occur after surgical incisions, ear piercings, or many other types of trauma to the skin. The keloid forms when the body fails to stop producing new tissue during healing. This leads to an overabundance of fibrous protein and collagen. These Keloid growths are often raised, darkened, and extend well beyond the original wound. They can itch, burn, and cause discomfort for the patient. Many patients are genetically predisposed to developing keloids. Individuals from African or Asian descent also tend to be more susceptible. Recurrence is common with keloids.

Candidacy

Not everyone is a good candidate for Keloids. Essentially any individual who is healthy and has realistic expectations is appropriate for a keloid removal procedure. Some US laws prevent practitioners Keloids with other cosmetic surgeries because of higher risks.
