Are scars noticeable after dilator surgery?

Everyone hopes that the skin on their face or exposed parts of the body is white and smooth, but after being bruised or bumped, it is easy to leave some scars, and many people do not do a good job of medical care, resulting in very dark pigmentation of the scars. This will also have a huge impact on the image of many people. Because of this, many people will also use some scar removal methods to protect their skin. Nowadays there is a more popular surgical treatment called dilator surgery. After the dilator surgery, we will actually have some scars. So are these scars obvious?

The expander is actually developed on the basis of skin grafting surgery. In fact, it requires people to perform a surgery first, bury an expander in the nearby normal skin, and then fill the expander with water every week. After two months, the normal skin will be expanded, and then the expanded skin will be used to fill the damaged skin after the original skin lesion is removed. Skin grafting surgery is to take a piece of skin from the abdomen to fill the damaged skin after the original skin lesion is removed.

Since the expander is used to fill the surrounding expanded skin, the color of the filled skin will be relatively similar, and the scar will look better. However, surgical treatment is also very inconvenient, usually takes two months, and the cost is relatively high. Skin grafting surgery mainly involves taking skin from the abdomen. The color of the scar will be different, and the actual effect will appear to be worse than that of the expander, but you only need to do it once. In clinical medical applications, expanders are mainly used to treat large-scale scars. We only need to turn large-area scars into strip-shaped scars, but it does not mean that there will be no scars after treatment.

If our body has suffered trauma and left large scars, we can use dilator surgery to reduce the area of ​​the scar and lighten the color. However, it is very difficult to completely eliminate the scar. After the surgery, the scar will not look as obvious as before. If we have the economic ability, we can still do this surgery.
