Hi, I had revision rhinoplasty with rib cartilage. To add to my displeasure with the revision rhinoplasty results, I now have a very unsightly scar in the middle of my chest. The scar is VERY bothersome and looks exactly like a stab wound (I have actually seen better stab wounds than this). The skin has also caved in around the area where the rib cartilage was taken, I look like I am missing a piece of my chest where the cartilage was taken. Can this be fixed?
There are many options for revising the scar and improving the appearance so there is no reason to be upset about it. Talk to your surgeon about surgically revising the scar to minimize the depression. Redness/purpleness of the scar will fade over time and can be improved with lasers. Hypertrophied scars can also be improved with lasers or steroid injections.
I recently saw an ENT surgeon about the half inch keloid on my right ear that I've had for 6 years, who immediately after 20 seconds of looking at it said OK we'll schedule to have it surgically removed and that'll be $950.00.
I've been researching this online and I've not found one positive outcome of having it removed, so should i just leave it alone and save my $1000? It doesn't hurt and hasn't changed in size in 2 years. My fear is that I'll spend the money just to have this disgusting thing come back even larger.
Keloids on the earlobes can be effectively removed, but they can also recur. You mentioned you have had it for 6 years. Based on what you describe, to optimize your results it should be surgically removed followed by steroid injections. However, you can also leave it alone if it does not bother you cosmetically or otherwise.
To optimize the results of the scar, it would be best if you have it surgically removed followed by an injected medication to minimize its recurrrence.
