[BACKGROUND] Keloids are pathological scars causing pain, pruritus, and emotional distress. While common treatments exist, emerging options such as insulin and botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) are underrepresented in comparative analyses. This net…

Prominent ear is a common auricular malformation that can have long-term psychosocial consequences on affected individuals. Otoplasty remains the standard surgical corrective treatment; however, the optimal technique has long been debated, …

[BACKGROUND] Keloids and hypertrophic scars are characterized by pathologically excessive dermal fibrosis and aberrant wound healing. These pathological scars are characterized by continuous and histologically localized inflammation of the …

Treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars poses a significant challenge. Several treatments are beneficial, including surgery, technologies such as lasers, medication injections (eg, triamcinolone and antineoplastic drugs), cryotherapy, a…

[IMPORTANCE] Prominent ear deformities can negatively impact self-esteem and social well-being. Surgical otoplasty is effective but is associated with complications, longer recovery, and altered ear contours. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the ef…

[BACKGROUND] There are many treatments for keloid. In recent years, botulinum toxin type A(BTX-A)has been proposed to treat keloid. The purpose of our study was to observe the clinical effect of BTX-A combined with superficial radiotherapy …

Keloid scars and epidermoid cysts present unique challenges in plastic surgery, often requiring distinct diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Keloid scars result from dysregulated wound healing characterized by collagen overproduction and…

The majority of the literature contains outcomes of paediatric otoplasty with multiple surgeons' outcomes. However, to date, a single surgeon's case series numbering over 1000 adult cases in the same center has not been published. Cosmetic …

Auricular keloids, particularly in the upper third of the ear, often recur after treatment and can cause aesthetic and functional deformities. This study assesses the effectiveness of stellate excision in reducing recurrence and improving c…

This systematic review compares the efficacy of pressure garment therapy (PGT) and non-PGT treatments, such as triamcinolone, verapamil, and laser therapies, for hypertrophic and keloid scars. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic searc…

Giant recurrent auricular keloids, particularly those complicated by donor-site involvement, present significant therapeutic challenges due to aggressive fibroblast biology and high recurrence rates. We report a complex case of a 15-year-ol…

Fibroproliferative disorders (FPDs), such as Dupuytren's contracture, scleroderma, capsular contracture, rhinophyma, and keloid scars, are characterised by excessive fibroblast activity and collagen deposition. These conditions are frequent…

Prominent ears, also known as prominauris, inflict psychological distress and suffering on both children and adults. Otoplasty has become one of the most common aesthetic operations due to its high prevalence and significant impact on patie…

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulsed dye laser (PDL) alone, the combination of PDL and botulinum toxin type A (BTA) injection, and the combination of PDL and triamcinolone injection in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloid…

[BACKGROUND] Hair restoration surgery (HRS) is a commonly performed elective procedure but to date lacks a review of the full scope of complications. [OBJECTIVES] To provide a comprehensive overview of observed complications associated wit…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominal wall contractures following burn injuries can cause both maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy like maternal disfigurement, breathing difficulties, scar site pain, fetal distress, premature labor, scar b…

[INTRODUCTION] Keloids result from a disorganized fibroproliferative collagen response that extends beyond the original wound margins and fails to regress. They are associated with a high recurrence rate despite various treatment options. K…

[INTRODUCTION] Pathological scars, including hypertrophic, keloid, and atrophic scars, remain challenging to treat, with current therapies offering limited success. Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) products, classified into cell-based thera…

[BACKGROUND] Keloids are fibroproliferative disorders characterized by excessive scarring, functional impairment, and aesthetic concerns. Despite the availability of various treatments, recurrence rates remain high, highlighting the need fo…
