Keloid Scarring: When the Doctor Recommends Against Surgical Keloid Removal

Silicone therapy for keloid scarring is a comforting alternative, not a last resort for keloid scar therapy. The results surprise and delight keloid sufferers who were disappointed their doctor warned against surgical keloid scar removal. A modern silicone gel keloid scar treatment gel will:

• Flatten keloid scars.
• Soften tough keloid tissue.
• Reduce redness and pain.
• Promote keloid healing.

A good doctor will warn that surgery can simply cause a new keloid to grow where the old one was removed. The risk is greatest if:

• You are prone to forming multiple keloids.
• You have a family history of the disfiguring scars.
• You are a person of color.

Doctors themselves will recommend silicone gel therapy following surgical keloid removal. Silicone is the premier topical treatment in addition to or in place of surgery.
