Best Ways to Eliminate Post-Operative Face Scars: Insights from Plastic Surgeon Aleksandr Mamonov

Post-operative scars on the face are a problem that worries many plastic surgery patients. It is especially unpleasant when the scars are still visible.

In a conversation with the plastic surgeon Aleksandr Mamonov, the main ways to eliminate this undesirable result of the operation were discussed. Laser correction is an effective way to combat scars that have just formed. Hardware cosmetology allows you to use a laser on the damaged area, promoting active tissue regeneration.

However, on old scars this method can be less effective; in such cases, a more radical solution to the problem is required. Surgical removal is an option when hardware and conservative methods do not yield results. If scars are too wide and cannot be corrected, they may need to be cut and modified for cosmetic reasons. Chemical peeling is suitable for areas of the face, except the eyelids. This method can be used until the scar has time to fully form. The effectiveness depends on the type of skin and the tendency to create keloid scars.

Before choosing a method to deal with scars, it is recommended to consult an experienced cosmetologist.
