Keloid Excision
Keloids are raised, overgrown scar tissue that forms at the site of a skin injury, commonly after ear piercing. Keloid Excision is a surgical procedure to remove these abnormal scars and restore the normal appearance of the ear or affected area.
Our ENT specialist offers keloid excision combined with adjuvant therapies to minimize the risk of recurrence.
What is a Keloid?
A keloid is an abnormal proliferation of scar tissue that grows beyond the boundaries of the original wound. It is firm, rubbery, and may cause itching, pain, or cosmetic concern. Keloids are more common in individuals with darker skin tones and often occur on the ear lobes after piercing.
