If the operation is performed in the oral cavity, because of the abundant capillaries in the oral cavity and the strong self-repair ability of the oral mucosa, there is generally no scar left.
When the skin outside the mouth needs surgery, it is likely to leave scars, because the self-repair ability of human epidermal cells is not as good as that of inner epidermal cells, and the human epidermal cells may increase the risk of infection because of direct contact with air after surgery. Therefore, if the self-repair function of the patient's own skin is not strong enough and the wound at the surgical site is relatively large, it may leave scars.
Will the scar left by mouth surgery heal itself? Not necessarily.
Generally, after a long period of time, scars will gradually fade away, but because the proliferation of scars is usually related to one's own physique, if one's physique is better, there is a great possibility that it will gradually recover. If one belongs to scar constitution, sometimes the wound is stimulated or infected in the recovery period after operation, and the scar left by mouth surgery is difficult to heal itself. Therefore, the scar left by the operation on the mouth may not heal itself.
How to do oral scar after operation? 1. Clean regularly. After leaving scars, the scars should be cleaned regularly, and iodophor or normal saline can be used for disinfection and sterilization at the initial stage of recovery to avoid infection before the scars are completely repaired.
2. Apply ointment. You can apply some ointment such as aloe vera gel to repair the skin, which can dilute the scar to some extent.
3. Keep a good attitude. If there is a scar in the mouth after operation, try to keep a good attitude and don't give yourself too much mental pressure, so as not to affect the recovery of the scar.
How to avoid leaving scars in oral surgery 1, and avoid spicy food. In the early stage of wound recovery, spicy food should be avoided, because these foods may cause irritation to the wound, which may lead to scar hyperplasia. Common spicy foods are pepper, ginger, seafood, beef and mutton, etc.
2. Avoid scratches. If the wound is itchy, don't scratch it, because it is caused by skin nerve growth. If stimulated, it will have a certain impact on the growth of nerves, and scars will proliferate.
3, the right amount of vitamins. Because vitamins can help wounds heal, improve immunity and avoid scar growth, fresh fruits and vegetables generally contain a lot of vitamins.
4. Keep the wound clean. Before the wound is completely healed, avoid contact with water, maintain good sanitary conditions, and avoid being infected by germs, thus leaving scars on the wound.
