Scar Care After Plastic Surgery at

Estetikcentrum

After plastic surgery, it’s important to understand how the healing process works and what you can do to promote the best possible outcome. Wound healing is a natural but complex process that varies from person to person. How your scar ultimately forms is influenced by several individual factors, such as your genetics, skin type, and lifestyle. By following the proper aftercare recommendations, you give your body the best conditions for safe and effective healing.

Here, we’ll go over what happens during the healing phase and which treatments can improve the appearance of the scar. By understanding the body’s natural healing process, you’ll find it easier to care for your skin properly.

The body's healing process

When the skin is damaged, the body immediately initiates a complex, multi-step healing process. It all begins with the inflammatory phase, which lasts for the first few days. During this phase, the body works to stop the bleeding and clear away damaged tissue. The next phase then begins, during which new blood vessels and collagen form to close the wound and strengthen the skin in the affected area.

Wound healing is a relatively slow process that can take anywhere from months to years. It is completely normal for scars to change in both color and texture during this time. Typically, the scar gradually fades and becomes less raised as the tissue matures and the skin regains its elasticity.

Individual healing

Every body heals at a different pace and in different ways. In addition, factors such as genetics and skin type can affect the appearance of the scar during the healing process and once the skin has fully healed. Some people end up with more noticeable scars, while others see subtle results. It is important to have realistic expectations about the healing process and to understand that scars change over time.

The first few days after surgery - Here’s what you need to keep in mind

The first few days are crucial for healing. To ensure you recover and that your scar heals as well as possible, it is important to rest and give your body time. During the first few weeks, you should therefore avoid strenuous activities that could tear or otherwise strain the scar and the new skin that is forming.

A clean and protected wound heals much better. To reduce the risk of infection, it is therefore important that you always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. The specific instructions depend, among other things, on whether you have undergone breast augmentation, a facelift, abdominoplasty, or rhinoplasty. Here, we recommend cleaning the area with lukewarm water and keeping it dry and free from moisture/sweat. Note that a scar is usually hard, swollen, and thick during the initial healing period, after which it will soften and flatten against the skin. This is a completely natural process that the vast majority of people go through. ​

Treat scars and improve the results

Once the wound has healed sufficiently, you can start using techniques to improve the appearance of the scar. ​

Taping the scar for as long as possible (ideally 6 months) is a good and very effective way to achieve a good result.

You can also try one of our modern and reliable treatments available at Estetikcentrum. We offer treatments such as fractional CO2 laser and microneedling, which are designed to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of scars. ​

You can also use ImproScar Stick, which is available in our online store. This product helps promote wound healing and reduce the visibility of scars. If the wound does not heal as expected and the scars become thick or hard after several months, our cortisone injections can be used to flatten them and reduce their visibility. ​

What should you avoid?

To avoid complications, it is important to follow certain restrictions after your surgery.

Hygiene and Infection Prevention

Good hygiene is essential for preventing infections and other problems at the surgical site. Before touching your scars or wounds, it is important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. A common mistake is removing the wound dressing far too early, usually because you want to get back to your daily routine as quickly as possible. However, this can prevent the wound from healing properly before it is exposed to air and other contaminants. If you experience severe redness and tenderness, swelling, or pus formation, it is very important that you contact us. We will then schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon, who will examine the scar more closely. ​
