  1. HYPERTROPHIC SCAR TREATMENT IN ATLANTA, GA

  2. WHAT ARE HYPERTROPHIC SCARS? Hypertrophic scars are raised bumps made up of collagen masses that accumulate around skin at the site of injury, impact or physical trauma. They often appear as hardened, rope-like protrusions, with knotty surfaces and visible skin discoloration.

  3. HYPERTROPHIC SCARS Hypertrophic scars are knotty bumps that form around scar tissue and may be unsightly, embarrassing and uncomfortable. If you are interested in hypertrophic scar removal, your best bet in the Atlanta area is the Atlanta Center for Breast and Aesthetic Surgery, led by Dr. Frederick T. Work, Jr. Dr. Work and his team provide state-of-the-art hypertrophic scar removal treatment for residents of Atlanta, Buckhead, Vinings and Sandy Springs.

  4. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KELOID AND HYPERTROPHIC SCARS? Hypertrophic and keloid scars are similar and it can be confusing to distinguish between them. Although they both are composed of excessive collagen masses, they behave differently. For example, a hypertrophic scar forms quickly following an injury, whereas a keloid may not start forming for up to a year after the original injury. There are also variations in the structure of the mass of tissue in the two types of scar formations. While collagen fibers in keloid scars actively spread into nearby healthy tissue, hypertrophic scar tissue remains confined to the site within the boundary of the original injury and the surrounding healthy tissue is not affected.
