Hello~

💛your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💛

Keloid skin refers to a condition where scars tend to swell and spread outward once they form.

Touching the area around the wound can feel painful and itchy.

People with these types of scars often complain of significant discomfort in their daily lives.

Keloids can form broadly around areas where an incision was made or a needle was inserted.

They can even occur after liposuction or simple injections.

Therefore, one of the most common questions asked by those with keloid-prone skin is

whether scarring will occur when undergoing revision surgery.

Today, we have prepared a Q&A session about keloid skin! ❤

Can I get revision surgery if I have keloid-prone skin?

Keloid-prone skin means that scars protrude and grow larger than the original wound site.

This skin type is influenced by ethnicity and the specific area of the surgery.

Keloid scars do not form on thin skin like the eyelids.

Noticeable scars after eyelid surgery are not protruding scars like keloids, but rather

scars that are wide and uneven, indented scars that look pinched, or scars that have turned whiter than the surrounding skin color.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the characteristics of keloid skin?

When a wound occurs, it tends to swell and grow larger than its original site. Touching the area around the wound can cause pain and itching, leading to discomfort in daily life, and it often occurs widely in areas that have been cut with a knife or punctured with a needle.

Can keloid scars develop even from simple injection procedures?

Yes, they can. Keloids can occur widely around the site of not only knife-cut surgeries but also simple injection procedures involving needles or liposuction.

I have a keloid predisposition, is it okay to have revision eye surgery?

Yes, it is perfectly fine to have revision eye surgery. Keloid scars are greatly influenced by the surgical site, and keloid scars do not occur in areas where the skin is very thin, such as the eyelids, so you can undergo surgery with peace of mind.

Are scars remaining after eyelid surgery not keloids?

No, they are not keloid scars. Noticeable scars after eye surgery are not raised like keloids; instead, they are common scars that are wide and uneven, indented as if pinched, or have turned whiter than the surrounding skin.
