Hypertrophic scars are thickened, raised scars. They can be red, pigmented or flesh coloured. Frequently, hypertrophic scars are mistaken for keloid scars.
Keloid scars present as excessively lumpy or ridged masses of fibrotic tissue which overgrow beyond the original injury. Keloid scars are flesh coloured, pink, or red and they are often itchy. They occur shortly after healing has taken place.
This type of scar occurs when the skin is stretched rapidly, such as during rapid growth pregnancy or simply weight gain.
Surgical scars are usually undetectable but may occasionally result in red or hyperpigmented thickened and rope-like scarring. The centre directors work with a breast surgeon to offer surgical correction and non-surgical scar reduction options to provide enhanced confidence and appearance.
