FAQ’s
What is a scar?
A scar is any mark left on your skin after a wound or injury has healed. Scar formation is a natural part of the healing process but the size and type of scar left behind depends on how the injury occurred (say from surgery or trauma), your age, underlying health, skin type and how long it took for the injury to heal.
What can I do to minimise scarring after my surgery / injury?
If your scar is as a result of an injury or emergency surgery you will not have had chance to prepare your body in advance but there is plenty you can do afterwards to give your body, including your skin the best chance to repair itself well. Here are a few important things to consider:
Stop smoking… at least six weeks before your surgery. Smoking reduces the amount of available oxygen to the tissues and can have a detrimental effect on the body’s immune system, all vitally important to healing. Smoking can also lead to poor collagen production. When the body’s tissues are injured, more of the protein collagen is produced to help the healing process and to strengthen the wound. Smoking interferes with this process and can result in risk of wound break down and impaired healing.
Ensure your body is nourished and hydrated… Eat a balanced diet with an emphasis on protein and vitamins D and C. Protein makes up the building blocks of healing skin, so it is essential to provide your body with adequate protein such as lean meat, fish, dairy and eggs to allow your skin to heal. If you prefer a vegetarian or vegan diet the choice of high quality delicious non-animal and plant-based proteins widely available now is excellent. Ensuring you are also drinking enough is so important to your body’s healing, but alcohol should be avoided as it dehydrates the body and the skin.
Rest and support for your wound… adequate rest after surgery or an injury is vital for the body to be able to heal. Take your doctor’s advice, you are not invincible! If you have been advised to wear a wound support or pressure garment to minimise scaring do…. Putting your wound under stress can lead to stretching of the wound and the possibility of the wound opening until it is properly healed.
