A Smarter Approach to Keloid Treatment

Keloids rarely improve on their own. And removal alone often isn’t enough.

The Plastic Surgery Center now offers a dedicated Keloid Treatment & Prevention Program, combining precise surgical removal with immediate, in-office Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT), a powerful protocol shown to reduce recurrence rates to approximately 94% when delivered promptly after excision.

No hospital coordination.
No referral delays.
No fragmented care.

Just a streamlined, start-to-finish treatment plan designed to stop recurrence before it starts.

What to Expect: A Simple, 4-Step Process

Step 1: Your Consultation & Evaluation

01

We examine your keloid, review prior treatments, and determine if you are a candidate for excision combined with SRT. We’ll explain recurrence risks and outline your personalized treatment plan.

Step 2: Surgical Removal

02

Your keloid is carefully removed by a specialized plastic surgeon with meticulous attention to minimizing tension and optimizing healing.

Step 3: Immediate Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)

03

Within 24 hours after surgery, SRT is delivered in-office to disrupt the abnormal scar-forming cells before they rebuild the keloid. This critical step is what significantly reduces recurrence risk.

Step 4: Guided Healing & Monitoring

04

We monitor your healing closely and assess for any early signs of recurrence. If adjustments are needed, your care team responds quickly, helping protect your long-term results.

This In-Office Procedure Is Ideal If You:

  • Have a raised scar that extends beyond the original injury
  • Experience itching, pain, tightness, or cosmetic distress
  • Had prior keloid removal and it came back
  • Were told “it may return” after surgery
  • Failed steroid injections or cryotherapy
  • Want the lowest possible recurrence risk

Excellent service! I felt very welcomed and comfortable with all the staff. Everyone was very pleasant. All my questions were answered and they followed up with me to make sure everything was healing properly. I had keloids removed from my neck and they are healing very nicely!

Expert Care for Better Results

A Coordinated, Evidence-Based Recurrence Prevention Protocol

Keloids are known for coming back, especially after excision alone. Our program combines precise surgical removal with immediate in-office SRT, a clinically supported approach that interrupts abnormal scar formation and significantly reduces recurrence risk.

Expert Plastic Surgeons Experienced in Complex Scar Revision

Our surgeons are highly trained in advanced reconstructive techniques, including the management of recurrent and treatment-resistant keloids. This depth of experience allows us to tailor each procedure to minimize tension, optimize healing, and support long-term results.

In-Office SRT Technology Rarely Available in Private Plastic Surgery Practices

By offering Superficial Radiation Therapy on-site, we eliminate the delays and coordination challenges that often occur with hospital-based radiation referrals. This allows us to control timing, which is a critical factor in improving cure rates and protecting your outcome.

Focused Follow-Up Care to Monitor Healing and Outcomes

Successful treatment doesn’t end after the procedure. We provide structured follow-up and healing assessments to monitor your recovery and respond quickly if concerns arise, reinforcing our commitment to preventing recurrence, not just removing the scar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes keloids different from regular scars?

Keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original injury and continue to produce excess scar tissue. They may itch, throb, or feel tight.

Why do keloids come back after surgery?

Excision alone does not stop the overactive scar-forming cells. Without additional therapy, recurrence rates can be high.

How does Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) help?

SRT interrupts the abnormal cellular activity that causes keloids to regrow. When delivered immediately after removal, it significantly reduces recurrence risk.

Is the radiation safe?

SRT is highly targeted and delivered at a superficial level, focusing on the treatment area while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissue.

Is this treatment covered by insurance?

Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary keloid treatment. Our team will verify your benefits.

How soon after surgery is radiation given?
Typically within a very short window following removal. Timing is critical for effectiveness, which is why having SRT in-house matters.
How long does the process take?
Surgery and SRT are coordinated to minimize disruption, with most patients returning home the same day.
