    Surgical treatment of scars and giant congenital moles

    The appearance of scars and scars on the skin is the body’s normal defense reaction to damage. But the presence of a visible mark in place of a seemingly small scratch is a serious aesthetic problem. Some scars can be removed with cosmetologists’ help, but in more complicated cases, plastic surgeons come to the rescue.

    Pigmented spots, moles or nevi in ​​children still formed in utero due to the accumulation of melanocyte cells in the skin. However, they are so insignificant in size that they rarely determined by eye in newborns. Typical marks can be found on the baby’s body a few weeks after birth or even after one year. A new “wave” of birthmarks often occurs at 5-6 years of age and in adolescence.

    In most cases, the type and size of the scar will require plastic surgery. During the preliminary consultation, the doctor examines the patient, collects anamnesis, and checks if there are any contraindications.

After the operation, to obtain a more pronounced effect, drug therapy, or a course of procedures in the department of aesthetic medicine can be prescribed.
