FAQ

Will the scar disappear completely?
No, it will improve a lot and become very faint- visible only on close inspection.
Will the result be immediate?
No, scars take much time to mature and improve after surgery. Give it six months time.
Do I need to follow any precautions after surgery?
Yes, regular follow-up visits for six months are necessary apart from certain creams.
I am told that result differs from person to person according to skin type and healing quality. What does it mean?
There are six types of skins. Fairest and delicate Scandinavian skin is type one, and thickest dark African skin is type 6. In between these are other skin types from fairer to darker. The tendency of scarring is least in fair, type one skin and maximum in dark type 6 skin. Indian skin is type 4 to 5. Fairer skinned people have better scars than darker people.
What is keloid scar?
A keloid is a type of scar that does not stop growing even after the skin is healed. It may grow bigger with time, may be elevated, hard, red and itchy and sometimes painful. A keloid can sometimes occur after a pinprick, a pimple or without any noticeable injury or surgery. A keloid is more common on the shoulder, chest and back.
What is the treatment of keloid scar?
Prevention is better than cure. After any injury or surgery if the scar is becoming elevated and itchy consult your plastic surgeon immediately. Fresh keloids can be treated without surgery by injecting steroids into keloid many times, application of pressure and silicon sheet. Surgery is done only for a few cases because any surgery will cause further keloid. This can be prevented by doing surgery and injecting a steroid into the scar after surgery 3-4 times and follow-up with the plastic surgeon for a long time to detect and suppress early reformation of the keloid.
What is a hypertrophic scar?
A hypertrophic scar is an elevated bad looking scar and a milder form of a keloid. Treatment is same as the keloid.
My father has a keloid scar. Does it mean I also have keloid tendency?
You may have keloid tendency.
My previous operation scars are fine, what are my chances of developing bad scar after my next surgery?
Chances of bad scarring are very low but results also vary from area to area, and some areas of the body are more prone to scarring than others.
I had met with an accident some years ago, and the scars on my arm are not good. I am now planning to have plastic surgery. Am I likely to have severe scars again?
Scars of plastic surgery is better than other scars.
Do self-absorbable stitches give the best result?
Plastic surgeons stitch the wound in layers. Absorbable stitches are used in deeper layers and fine non-absorbable stitches on the skin surface. Outer stitches are removed in 4 to 5 days. These unique non-absorbable stitches are very smooth, do not leave marks and are not painful during removal. Absorbable stitches on the skin are not preferred because they absorb slowly and may leave marks. Sometimes absorbable sutures under the skin alone are used, and no stitches are applied on the skin. Your plastic surgeon is the best person to decide which kind of technique will suit you the most.
Is it better if my skin is closed with glue rather than the stitches?
Plastic surgery stitches give the best result and do not leave stitch marks. Glue is only for uncooperative children.
Is laser better than surgery for scar removal?
Different scars respond to different treatments. Scars that respond to surgery do not respond to laser and vice versa. Generally speaking, very few types of scars respond to laser.

Client Testimonials

I had lovely laugh lines that made me look attractive when I smiled, or so my friends said. But it worried me that my skin was getting less supple as I grew older. Having read and heard so much about skin tightening treatments, I decided to give it a shot. My first consultation at Ambrosia helped me understand what to expect and how to care for my skin post procedure. Dr. Priti’s thoroughness during the examination was very reassuring too. I thoroughly recommend everyone who is concerned about their skin looking uncared for as they age. Ambrosia totally helped me remind myself that age is only a number. Thank you Dr. Priti for your magic.

My teenage acne had left a lot of scars on my face. That was all I saw when I looked in the mirror. While searching for treatment, I came across Ambrosia and decided to check out what could be done about it. My first impression when I walked in was one of complete ease with the warmth of the staff and the calm atmosphere. The initial consultation helped me understand what can be done to gradually remove the scars on my face as well as what I needed to do post-procedure. I am so happy with the results and go out of my way to mention Ambrosia whenever someone points out how smooth and beautiful my skin looks now. Thank you Ambrosia!

I had broken my nose as a child after a fall. It was misshapen because of that. The twisted nose also led to breathing problems. Searching for solutions, I came across Ambrosia Clinic and the procedures they offer to correct that. I was suggested surgery. I am thankful to the team of plastic surgeons who helped correct my nose as well as the breathing problems. My recovery time was minimal and I am able to lead a normal life since then. A big thank you to the great team at Ambrosia.

I had skin pigmentation on my face. It always made me conscious and I would hide it with layers of makeup. My friend suggested I meet Dr. Priti and do something about it instead of hiding behind makeup. I did not know what to expect, but was totally blown away by her warmth and the modern set up at Ambrosia. She not only explained the procedures I could get done but also what to expect at each stage during recovery. I thoroughly recommend Ambrosia and especially Dr. Priti to everyone.
