Simply put, the dilator is an improvement on the basis of skin grafting, that is, an operation is performed first, a dilator is buried under the surrounding normal skin, and then water is injected into the dilator every week. Two months later, the normal skin was expanded, and the expanded skin was used to repair the damaged skin after the resection of the original focus, while skin grafting was to take a piece of skin directly from the abdomen to repair the defect after the resection of the original focus.
The difference is that the skin repaired by expander is similar in color, so the scar looks better, but the operation is more troublesome, and it takes two months and costs more than 10 thousand. But skin grafting is to take skin from the abdomen, so the color of the scar will be different, and the effect will be worse than that of the dilator, but it will cost thousands of dollars to do it once.
The expansion period is mainly used to treat large-area scars, only to turn large-area scars into linear scars, but it is not without scars, and scars will definitely exist.
The above is the related content of scar after dilator operation. If you want to avoid being troubled by this kind of scar problem, then you must have enough psychological preparation and choose appropriate methods to help yourself achieve the effect of removing scars.
