Many types of scarring can occur. For example, a very raised, sometimes itchy scar that arises may indicate that a keloid has formed. These types of scars are more predominant in darker skinned individuals like African-Americans and respond to excision followed by repeated steroid injections until they settle down. Wider, slightly raised, or depressed scars are usually amenable to excision and reconstruction. Dr. Lam performs the most meticulous scar excision using a whole range of techniques depending on the type of scar, its location, and the type of skin of the individual. Dr. Lam's expertise in the face and in reconstructive facial techniques permits the most suitable approach to help reduce the unsightliness of your scar. If the scar is contracted, i.e., bunched up and shortened, nearby facial structures can be affected, like pulling on the lip, eyelid, or nose. Dr. Lam employs a special type of scar revision that permits him to lengthen the scar to release the deformity on neighboring tissues. The most advanced scar revision that he performs in the select individual is known as a "geometric broken-line repair" that requires alignment of miniaturized different shapes, which is followed 6 weeks later by mechanical dermabrasion, to provide the optimal camouflage for your scar. Only after a detailed consultation with Dr. Lam will you begin to understand which procedure might be best for you. Dr. Lam is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has authored three major facial plastic surgery textbooks, including Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: A Practical and Systematic Guide to the Aging Face, Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face, and the recently published Complementary Fat Grafting. Dr. Lam has also published over 100 book chapters and scientific articles on the subject of facial plastic surgery and lectures nationally almost on a monthly basis on facial plastic surgery.
