There is a technique where a suture can be tied and progressively tightened around a keloid. This cuts off the blood supply and the keloid typically "falls off." However, this is not without risk and performing this at home is a bad idea. Further, there are several techniques that can immediately remove a keloid as opposed to performing this type of staged procedure. Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
