Summary Content

Keloid surgery is a specialized procedure performed to remove large, raised scars that form when the skin heals excessively after injury. Keloids can appear after cuts, burns, piercings, surgical incisions, or acne and often continue growing beyond the original wound site. While harmless, they can cause discomfort, itchiness, and cosmetic concerns.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, keloid surgery is carefully performed by experienced dermatologic surgeons to remove the thickened scar tissue and restore smoother skin. Because keloids have a high risk of recurrence, surgery is often combined with other therapies such as steroid injections, pressure therapy, or laser treatments to optimize results and minimize regrowth.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia to ensure comfort, and careful surgical techniques are used to minimize trauma to the surrounding skin. Recovery is typically straightforward, with mild soreness and swelling for a few days. Keloid surgery can significantly improve the skin’s appearance, reduce discomfort, and enhance confidence—especially when performed with a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan.
