Advanced Management of Keloids
Keloids are raised, thickened scars that grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. They may develop after ear piercing, surgery, acne, burns, trauma, or even minor skin injuries. Keloids can cause cosmetic concerns, itching, pain, and discomfort.
Effective treatment depends on the size, location, and type of keloid. Our clinic offers a comprehensive approach using surgery, intralesional injections, laser therapy, and silicone-based treatments to achieve the best possible results while minimizing recurrence.

Treatment Options
Earlobe Keloid Surgery
Earlobe keloids can often be treated successfully with complete surgical excision using a fillet flap technique. This specialized procedure removes the keloid while preserving the surrounding healthy skin, resulting in excellent cosmetic outcomes and minimal tissue loss.
To further reduce the risk of recurrence, post-operative intralesional injections or silicone therapy may be recommended.
Keloids on the Chest, Shoulders & Back
Keloids at high-risk sites such as the chest, shoulders, and upper back have a greater tendency to recur after surgery. Therefore, these keloids are often managed using a combination of:
- •Intralesional injections
- •Laser treatment
- •Silicone gel sheets
A customized treatment plan is created depending on the size, thickness, symptoms, and location of the keloid.
Our goal is not only to remove or flatten the keloid but also to provide long-term management strategies that help maintain results and reduce the risk of recurrence.
