 Plastic
Surgery Consultants is proud to announce the
Plastic Surgery Consultants Scar Reduction Program�. This is used to
help patients who undergo such surgical
procedures as tummy tucks or breast surgery,
which include the creation of scars as part of
the surgery.
When patients decide to undergo plastic surgery,
one major concern is the possibility of
unsightly scarring. All surgery involves some
scarring, but the risk of thickened or raised
scars is often greater for those with a family
or previous history of scarring and those with
darker colored skin. Risks also can be increased
when surgery is performed on the torso such as
in tummy tucks or on the breasts such as in
breast lifts.
At Plastic Surgery Consultants we strongly
believe in the concept of a proactive approach
to scar intervention and minimization. The
Plastic Surgery Consultants
Scar Reduction Program� integrates the work of
Dr. LeTard
to provide a comprehensive
approach to minimizing scarring.
During surgery, Dr. LeTard
uses
meticulous technique and very fine sutures to
minimize tension on wounds � to limit the
formation of unsightly scars right at the time
of surgery. Next, we implement our unique
post-operative program that includes the
treatment of surgical incisions with various
other modalities over time to minimize scars.
Some of these techniques include specialized
tapes, gels, and injections of medicines to help
speed healing and diminish the appearance of
scar.
With the Plastic Surgery Consultants Scar
Reduction Program�, our mission is to
aggressively treat post-surgical incisions in
order to minimize scarring and maximize cosmetic
appearance. This service is an integral part of
our plastic surgery center and a commitment to
our patients to provide unsurpassed medical
care. This unique program is offered to our
patients who undergo
surgery at Plastic Surgery Consultants |
