Does having a tendency to form keloid affect cosmetic surgery?

July 11, 2019
Asked By:Nice9591 in Miami, FL

I am interested in getting a lip lift because of a prolonged philtrum, but given how I have a history of getting keloids often, I have been wondering if it is advised against in case of bad scarring, or if there is any option to avoid a keloid scar forming.
