I have moved away from Houston and I have keloids in front and behind my ears and they itch and are sensitive. I have ask two dermatolgist what to do and they don't know. Please help me. Will the lumps just keep getting larger or should I try to find a plastic surgeon

Answer: Keloid Treatment
Scar revision after a facelift procedure often requires a more extensive facelifting procedure to remove enough of the scar. You need to find an experienced facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to help with improving or eliminating the scar formation. If the scars are unable to be treated in one setting, a staged, second procedure may be required to get the best result. Best of luck!

Answer: Keloid or Hypertrophic scaring what to do? Dear Cantonie, It seems that you have hypertrophic scars rather than Keloids. Hypertrophic scars are simply thicker, wider scars and they start to appear two to three weeks post surgery and stop growing. On the other hands keloid scars are pathological where the scar continues to grow beyond its original borders and they get very large. I would recommend you to see a plastic surgeon in your area. He or she will most likely to inject the area with Kenalog for at least 3 sessions and recommend scar gels such as Kelocote and topical steroid. Laser is a good option as well. If these treatments are not affective, there are other options available that I would leave that to treating physician.

Answer: Keloid Scars After a Facelift There are a few ways to help with Keloid scars. Most Doctors first attempt would be to do a Kenalog injection. This can help the scars appearance. Also, using silicone gel or sheeting can help to smooth out the scars. If they are very irritating, I would recommend seeing someone in your area for help. Good Luck!
