Q. Following the several times of orthopedic surgeries, wound becomes larger and the scar grows hypertrophic. I want this scar to be invisible as much as possible although I know it cannot be completely removed.
A. There are several ways of reducing the scars. Skin graft, tissue expander, scar revision with multiple Z-plasty, and laser therapy can be options. For the exact evaluation for the scar and the establishment of the treatment plan, please visit the outpatient department. If you have surgery recently, to prevent the hypertrophic scar, Cica-care or Contractubex can be applied.
