People with scar-prone physique need to pay attention!

Many people worry and doubt that they have a scar-prone physique.

My myopic friends often ask this question: I have a scar-prone physique, can I undergo myopia surgery?

So, what exactly is scar-prone constitution? Why can’t people with scar-prone constitution undergo myopia laser surgery?

What is scar physique?

Generally speaking, patients with hypertrophic scars can be judged as having a scar physique. However, many people subjectively believe that they have a scar physique, thinking that a pimple and a scar are a scar physique. In general, a true scar physique is when any part of the body is injured, and after the wound heals, the scar grows outward, and the scar on the protruding surface continues to grow and harden, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes local pain, redness and itching, and scar contraction, and also affects functional movement. But after growing to a certain extent, it will no longer continue to expand.

To put it simply, the symptoms of a scar-prone constitution are: no matter how small the injury is, a keloid will grow, and this scar is generally a red, raised tumor.

Can people with scar-prone constitution undergo laser surgery for myopia?

Strictly speaking, it is not that people with scar-prone constitutions cannot undergo laser surgery for myopia, but that doctors will be extremely cautious in choosing the method of myopia surgery.

Doctors may encounter some problems or risks after surgery on patients with scar constitutions, so they must make judgments through strict examinations. Laser myopia surgery is generally not recommended for patients with severe scar constitutions, because there may be complications after surgery, and it may also cause corneal opacity, which in turn affects vision. In severe cases, corneal transplantation may be required.

In addition, for patients with severe scars, doctors do not recommend any skin-related actions, including medical beauty and micro-surgery. Before laser myopia surgery, you must go to a regular ophthalmology medical institution for a rigorous and detailed preoperative examination to meet all the examination data, so as to "tailor-make" the surgical plan.
