Keloid is a very difficult problem to treat. Recurrence is very high. Traditionally, we have used steroid injections, surgery, and cryotherapy. Recently, Cryoshape has shown great promise in the treatment for keloids. Cryoshape is an FDA approved hand-held cryosurgical instrument for destroying keloid scar. It treats keloid scar from the inside out. Cryoshape keloid scar treatment is the cool solution to keloid scar.Unlike other procedures for keloid scar, CryoShape™ requires only ONE session to significantly reduce scar. There is minimal discomfort and recovery. If you have tried other options or do not want repeated injections, Cryoshape may help you. Make sure to consult with a plastic surgeon about your options.

I have successfully treated chest keloids such as yours without surgery. A combination of pressure, IIT, and laser will reduce this scar effectively.
I am not familiar with cost of plastic surgery in Georgia but it will likely fall within the range of $500-1000 depending upon precise location of the keloid and complexity of removal. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
