켈로이드 Keloid

Prominent ears are the most frequently observed congenital deformity of the head and neck. Various techniques have been proposed for their aesthetic correction. Typically, surgical treatment for protruding ears involves a combination of sut…

[BACKGROUND] Consequently, the management of post burn hypertrophic scars and keloid in children are a great challenge for the physicians, parents, and children themselves. [PURPOSE OF THE STUDY] To assess the efficacy and safety of treati…

Although broad reviews on laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) have been published in the past, an updated focused examination of its utility in the context of common, treatment-resistant, dermatologic conditions has not been published. This…

[BACKGROUND] For the treatment of sternal keloids, corticosteroid therapy has side effects including abnormal sebum secretion and acne. Relapse of keloids is common after corticosteroid injection in patients with oily skin. To reduce side e…

Breast surgery is usually recommended for women who have completed puberty. Indeed, during adolescence the breast is constantly changing, the patient's weight is often unstable, the risk of inflammatory scars (hypertrophic or keloid) is hig…

Keloids and hypertrophic scars are cosmetic problems with significant morbidity. Many clinical modalities were tried in order to modulate the disfigurement related to these pathologic scars. To evaluate the clinical and histopathological ef…

Prominent ears are considered the most common congenital external ear deformity among Caucasians. Affecting approximately 5% of the population, it runs in families and exhibits equal sex incidence. This study aimed to determine the complica…

[OBJECTIVES] This study proposes a new surgical alternative for the most common deformity in the ears, the so-called "protruding/prominent ears", which is a condition that affects 5% of the Caucasian population (Goulart et al. in Rev Bras C…

[BACKGROUND] Plastic surgeons' firm grasp of perforator anatomy allows them to be increasingly mindful of esthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and donor-site function when approaching breast reconstruction. Mindfulness of these outcomes…

Keloids are the result of aberrant tissue scarring typically occurring in injured skin, and are caused by the overgrowth of granulation tissue or collagen type III during the healing process. There is a genetic component, thus a predisposit…

[INTRODUCTION] Keloids are hypertrophic scars that commonly arise in the ear region. The authors' objectives were to (1) evaluate effectiveness of surgical shave excision followed by intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and onabotulinumtox…

Microbotox is the administration of multiple microdroplets of botulinum toxin in intradermal plane. It is increasingly becoming popular owing to its more favorable outcome and better safety profile than the conventional technique. The inten…

The skin is an organ that protects against injury and infection but can be damaged easily. Wound healing is a subtle balance which, if broken, can lead to keloid formation. Small noncoding (nc) RNAs can be of "housekeeping," for example, ri…

Two cases are presented that demonstrate normal wound healing following bilateral reduction mammoplasty, in young female patients taking therapeutic doses of Isotretinoin (Roaccutane). Review of the literature does not provide evidence that…

[BACKGROUND] The process of scar formation is complex and multi-factorial. Basic plastic surgery tenets focus on tension-free techniques to optimize aesthetic outcomes and minimize scarring. [OBJECTIVES] Prophylactic use of a polydioxanone…

[BACKGROUND] Both keloid and hypertrophic scars are common benign skin lesions manifested by hyperplasia of fibroblasts. Clinically, this will not only have physiological effects on patients, but also cause psychological damage. However, th…

Keloid is a type of unusually raised scar. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has a great application potential in keloids treatment. Here, we investigated the functional role of BTX-A in keloids. We separated keloid tissues and normal skin tissues …

Scars can lead to aesthetic and functional impairments. The treatment of scars requires meticulous planning and an individually adapted therapeutic strategy. A conceptual algorithm for scar treatment makes everyday clinical work easier for …

[BACKGROUND] Abdominoplasties are increasingly requested aesthetic, reconstructive surgical procedures that, in most cases, have shown the disadvantage of leaving an often-notorious periumbilical scar due to hypertrophy, keloid, or because …
