Is there any form of surgery for getting rid of hypertrophic scars?

Years ago, I was in an abusive relationship and as a result I got scarring. Is there a way to get rid of them?Is there any form of surgery for getting rid of hypertrophic scars?
There is...and it depends on the extension of the scars you may have.


First, if the scar is what we call too thick, or ';hypetrophic';. the injection (sometimes in two or three occasions by the plastic surgeon or equivalent) of ampules of triamcinolone acetomide, diluted in small amounts of local anesthetic (lidocaine), will be strong enough to flatten and disguise the scar.


However, if they are too extensive or very conspicuous, the best way to deal with them is by staged operations called ';Z plasty';.


Or a combination of the procedures cited above,


Remember that ';magic'; creams, soaps, etc, are just a pull on the leg, and will not work.


It is the work of a qualified plastic surgeon, or even a dermatologist,Is there any form of surgery for getting rid of hypertrophic scars?
Laser treatment can help them.
I'm so sorry to hear about your problems, but it's wonderful that you're out of that situation.





Hypertrophic scars cannot be removed with surgery, unfortunately. It would just make it worse by producing more abnormal collagen (more scarring).





Mederma for scars has helped with my surgery scars. I've also used cocoa butter, and I've tried alpha and beta hydroxy acids. These are all good things to try. But a dermatologist will probably have the best ideas for your particular scars.





Best of luck to you.
