After undergoing plastic surgery, it is important to understand how your scar heals and what measures can promote a good healing process. Wound healing is individual and is influenced by several factors, such as genetics, skin type and lifestyle.
When the skin is injured, the body immediately starts a healing process. First, blood clots form and blood vessels contract to stop the bleeding. This is called the inflammatory phase and lasts for the first few days. The body clears away damaged tissue before the next phase of the wound healing process begins. It is during this phase that new blood vessels and collagen are formed to close the wound and allow the skin around the area to strengthen.
Wound healing is a relatively slow process that can take months or years, without anything necessarily being wrong. As scars heal more and more, they may change in color and texture. Most commonly, the skin becomes less raised and the scars fade.
All bodies heal at different rates and in different ways. In addition, factors such as genetics and skin type can affect the appearance of the scar during the healing process and when the skin is fully healed. Some people will have more prominent scars while others will have subtle results. It is important to have realistic expectations about healing and understand that scars change over time.
The first few days are very crucial for healing. In order for you to recover and for your scar to heal in the best possible way, it is important to rest and give your body time. For the first few weeks, you should therefore refrain from strenuous activities that could tear or otherwise stress the scar and the new skin that will heal.
A wound that is clean and protected heals much better. Therefore, to reduce the risk of infection, it is important that you always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. These instructions will depend on whether you have had a breast augmentation, facelift, tummy tuck or rhinoplasty. Here we recommend cleaning with lukewarm water and keeping the area dry and free from moisture/sweat. Please note that a scar is usually hard, swollen and thick during the initial healing period, and then softens and sinks towards the skin. This is a completely natural process that most people go through.
Taping the scar for as long as possible (preferably 6 months) is a good and very effective way to get a good result.
You can also make use of one of our modern and reliable treatments you can find at Estetikcentrum. We offer fractional CO2 laser as well as Microneedling, which are designed to stimulate collagen production and reduce the visibility of scars.
You can also use ImproScar Stick, which you can find in our webshop. This product helps to promote wound healing and reduce the visibility of scars. Should it be the case that the wound does not heal as expected and the scars become thick or hard after several months, our cortisone injections can be a treatment to flatten them and reduce their visibility.
Good hygiene is essential to avoid infections and other problems at the surgical site. Before touching your scars or wounds, it is important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. A common mistake is to remove the dressing too soon, usually because you want to get back to your daily life as soon as possible. However, this can prevent the wound from healing properly before it is exposed to air and other impurities. Should you experience severe redness and tenderness, swelling or scarring, it is very important that you contact us. We will then book a return visit with your surgeon who will take a closer look at the scar.
