过程
你的外科十大赌博平台排行榜使用的疤痕修复技术取决于你的疤痕类型.
蟹足肿
蟹足肿 occur when the body continues to produce tough, fibrous protein known as collagen after a wound has healed. 结果是, 一个厚, puckered and itchy cluster of scars, often red or darker in color than the surrounding skin, may grow beyond the edges of the wound or incision.
瘢痕疙瘩通常首先用类固醇注射治疗以减小疤痕的大小. If the scars don't respond to injections, they can be removed surgically. This is usually an outpatient procedure, performed under local anesthesia. 手术后, you should be back at work in a day or two, and your stitches will be removed in a few days.
It is important to note that even after treatment, keloid scars may come back larger and more visible than before. 然而, your surgeon can use certain methods to discourage this, 比如在疤痕中使用或注射类固醇或进行放射治疗. Wearing a pressure garment for a year or more may also be recommended.
肥厚性疤痕
增生性疤痕呈红色,凸起,厚,生长在伤口或切口的边界内.
肥厚性疤痕 often improve on their own without treatment over time, or with steroid applications or injections. If they do not respond to steroid treatment, they may be removed surgically. 在这个过程中, 你的整形十大赌博平台排行榜会移除多余的疤痕组织,重新放置切口,这样伤口愈合时就不会那么明显了. This 手术 may be performed under local or general anesthesia.
为了防止疤痕复发,你的外科十大赌博平台排行榜可能会在手术过程中向疤痕注射类固醇. 在某些情况下, 手术后接受类固醇注射长达两年也可能被推荐.
挛缩疤痕
挛缩疤痕可能发生在大面积皮肤受伤时——通常是烧伤造成的——皮肤拉紧并起皱. The scar may restrict the movement of surrounding muscles and tendons.
挛缩疤痕 may be treated with skin grafting, flap 手术 or Z-plasty.
皮肤移植 is a complex surgical procedure and typically used to treat more severe scars, such as contractures and other scars caused by burns. 它包括将皮肤从身体的健康部位(供体部位)转移到受伤部位. Grafts are often taken from fatty areas, such as the thigh; for more extensive scars, grafts may be needed from many areas.
皮肤移植 can greatly improve the function of a scarred area. 然而, 值得注意的是,移植的皮肤可能与周围皮肤的颜色和质地不完全匹配.
皮瓣手术 is a complex surgical procedure in which skin, 以及潜在的脂肪, blood vessels and sometimes the muscle, is moved from a healthy part of the body to the injured site. 在一些褶叶中, the blood supply remains attached at one end to the donor site; in others, 使用微血管手术将皮瓣中的血管与新部位的血管重新连接.
皮瓣手术 can greatly improve the function of a scarred area. 然而,移植的皮肤可能与周围皮肤的颜色和质地不完全匹配. In general, flap 手术 produces better cosmetic results than skin grafts.
Z-plasty 是一种外科手术技术,通过改变疤痕的方向,使其更接近皮肤的自然线条和折痕,从而使疤痕不那么明显吗. 在这个过程中, the old scar is removed and new incisions are made on each side, creating small triangular flaps of skin. These flaps are then rearranged to cover the wound at a different angle, 伤疤呈“Z”字形. The wound is closed with fine stitches, which are removed a few days later.
Z-plasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia.
面部疤痕
面部疤痕有很多治疗方法,比如磨皮和z形成形术. 使面部疤痕不那么显眼的最简单的方法是切除疤痕,然后用细针缝合切口, 留下一个更薄的, 不太明显的疤痕. If the scar is located across a natural crease on your face, your surgeon may redirect the scar so that it runs parallel to these lines.
擦皮法 包括使用手持高速旋转轮刮去皮肤表层. 虽然它会让皮肤表面更光滑,但它不会完全消除你的疤痕.
复苏
复苏 differs for each patient, and the healing process occurs in stages.
手术完成后,您将被带进恢复区并受到严密监控. 对于大多数门诊手术,病人在几个小时后被允许回家. For more complex procedures that are performed in the hospital, such as skin grafting or flap 手术, a short hospital stay may be required.
It is natural to experience some discomfort after facial scar revision 手术; your surgeon can prescribe pain medications to make you feel more comfortable. You will also experience some swelling, bruising and redness after 手术. Don't be alarmed if your scar looks worse following 手术. It may take up to a year for its appearance to improve.
恢复正常活动
你的外科十大赌博平台排行榜会为你提供具体的指导和指导,帮助你恢复正常的日常生活. 遵照外科十大赌博平台排行榜的指示确保伤口正常愈合是非常重要的.
虽然你的缝线会在手术后几天内被拆除,但你的皮肤需要时间来愈合. 建议您在手术后放松并减少活动. 消肿, keep your head elevated when lying down, 使用冷敷,避免任何对切口产生压力的活动.
记住,没有疤痕可以完全去除,改善的程度取决于疤痕的大小和方向, 你皮肤的性质和质量, and how well you care for the wound after 手术. It is important to remember that scar tissues require a year or more to heal 完全.

你的外科十大赌博平台排行榜会在手术后的几个月内安排频繁的随访, 检查你的进度. If you develop any unusual symptoms between visits, 或者有任何问题或疑虑, please don't hesitate to call your surgeon.
