MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ, NEW JERSEY / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2025 / Keloids, a type of raised scar that can develop following an injury or surgery, are not only a cosmetic concern but can also affect a person's confidence and quality of life. In the realm of facial plastic surgery, addressing these concerns requires a thoughtful and expert approach. Dr. Anni Wong MD, a renowned facial plastic surgeon serving Monroe Township and Freehold, NJ, shares her professional insights on keloids, their causes, and the latest treatments available to help patients regain smoother, scar-free skin.
Dr. Anni Wong is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in scar revision, and aesthetic procedures.
Dr. Anni Wong Announces New Expert Guidance on Keloids
Keloids are overgrown scar tissues that develop as a result of the skin's healing process going into overdrive. Unlike regular scars, keloids extend beyond the boundaries of the original wound and often continue to grow. They can appear as firm, raised bumps that are pink, red, or darker than the surrounding skin. Common causes include surgical incisions, injuries, piercings, burns, or even acne scars.
Keloid formation is more common in individuals with darker skin tones, although it can occur in anyone. They can be itchy, painful, and emotionally distressing, especially when they appear on visible areas of the face.
Dr. Anni Wong Offers Expert Treatment Options for Keloids
While keloids can be challenging to treat due to their tendency to recur, advancements in facial plastic surgery have provided patients with effective solutions. Dr. Wong's expertise in scar revision has helped countless patients achieve smoother, more even skin.
1. Corticosteroid Injections
For smaller keloids, Dr. Wong often recommends corticosteroid injections as the first line of treatment. These injections reduce inflammation and shrink the scar tissue over time. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve noticeable results.
2. Surgical Excision
For larger or more complex keloids, surgical excision may be necessary. The goal with surgical excision is not only to remove the keloid but also to ensure the skin heals smoothly and evenly. Dr. Wong emphasizes the importance of a meticulous surgical approach to minimize recurrence.
3. Combination Therapies
According to Dr. Wong, the most effective treatments often involve a combination of methods. Post-surgery, corticosteroid injections or silicone sheets may be used to prevent recurrence. Laser therapy can also improve skin texture and reduce discoloration.
What to Expect During Keloid Removal
Patients undergoing keloid removal at Dr. Wong's state-of-the-art facilities in Monroe Township or Freehold, NJ, can expect a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. Because every patient's skin and healing process are different, Dr. Wong takes the time to understand each patient's medical history, lifestyle, and goals before recommending a solution.
Dr. Wong's approach prioritizes patient comfort and satisfaction. The scar revision procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Recovery time varies depending on the size and complexity of the keloid, but most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days.
