What is a Keloid?

A keloid is a type of excessive scar tissue that forms when the skin heals from an injury. Unlike normal scars, keloids grow beyond the original wound and often become:

• Thick and raised

• Red or dark in color

• Itchy or painful

• Firm and rubbery in texture

• Disfiguring, especially on visible areas

Common areas where keloids form include:

• Chest

• Shoulders

• Ears (post-ear piercing)

• Jawline or cheeks

• Back

What Causes Keloids?

• Skin trauma (cuts, burns, piercings, acne)

• Surgical wounds or stitches

• Genetic predisposition (runs in families)

• More common in darker skin tones

• Improper healing or delayed treatment

When Should You Consider Keloid Excision?

You may consider surgical excision if:

• The keloid is growing or spreading

• It causes discomfort, pain, or itching

• It’s in a visible area (face, ears, chest) and affects your self-esteem

• You’ve tried creams, silicone sheets, or steroid injections with little to no improvement

• The keloid has returned after previous treatments

Keloid Excision at Hplus Super Specialty Clinic

At Hplus, we follow a comprehensive and customized approach to ensure effective and long-lasting results.

🔹 Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

We assess the size, location, history, and depth of your keloid. A tailored treatment plan is created.

🔹 Step 2: Local Anesthesia

The area is numbed to ensure a painless experience.

🔹 Step 3: Surgical Excision

Using precise surgical techniques, the entire keloid is carefully removed, and the wound is closed with minimal tension to prevent recurrence.

🔹 Step 4: Post-Excision Therapies

To reduce the chances of recurrence, we may combine the surgery with:

• Steroid injections

• Silicone gel sheets

• Pressure therapy

• Laser therapy (optional)

Aftercare Instructions

• Keep the wound clean and dry

• Apply prescribed ointments regularly

• Avoid sun exposure (use SPF on exposed areas)

• Follow-up for steroid or laser sessions

• Do not scratch or irritate the healing area

• Wear pressure garments (if advised, especially for earlobes)

Benefits of Keloid Excision

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

• Surgical excision is a one-time procedure

• However, depending on your case, follow-up steroid or laser sessions may be needed to prevent recurrence.

• Most patients see significant improvement in both appearance and symptoms within a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will the keloid come back after surgery?
A: There is a risk of recurrence, but at Hplus, we combine surgery with follow-up therapies like steroids or pressure dressing to minimize this risk.

Q: Is keloid excision painful?
A: Not at all. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and post-op discomfort is manageable with mild painkillers.

Q: How long does it take to heal?
A: Initial healing takes 7–10 days, with full results visible in 4–6 weeks.

Q: Can all keloids be removed surgically?
A: Most can, especially medium-to-large keloids. Tiny ones may respond better to injections or lasers alone.

Q: Is the treatment safe for darker skin tones?
A: Yes! We customize every procedure to match your skin tone and healing response.
