Surgical skin grafting

Cut off qualified skin from other parts of the body and transplant it to the area after removing the scar. This method is the most important, and it can significantly improve severe scars after transplantation, but it may leave scars on the body where the skin was removed. The patient's own fat or dermis is usually used as the filling material. Generally, skin grafting surgery is charged according to three area specifications: large, medium and small.

Release and transformation

This is to resect the scar and then reshape the incision into a "Z" shape. This situation is most suitable for scars that have already formed a web shape. Webbed scars form adhesion and pull on the skin, which especially hinders movement. Surgery is used to mobilize the skin tissue next to the scar to minimize the impact of the scar on body functions.

Buried dilators

Bury two dilators (water bladders made of silicone film) under the skin on both sides of the scar, and inject physiological saline into them regularly to make the skin Raised to allow room for new skin to grow. After the expander is removed, the skin that grows back can be used to patch up the original scar. The method of burying the expander is most effective when used on the head or face, because there are bones inside to support the expander, causing it to expand more outward. This method is more effective in treating scars, but it takes a long time and requires hospitalization for at least one month. Since it requires two surgeries of implantation and removal, the use of expanders and hospitalization, the cost is also high.
