Until recently the treatment of keloids has been frustrating not only for patients but also for physicians and healthcare workers. Historically there have been different modalities to treat keloids this includes creams, laser and light therapy, compression therapy, cryosurgery, intralesional steroid injection, silicone gel pads, and even massage therapy. Surgical removal of the keloid has been one of the most common treatments but recurrence rate without xrt or radiation is typically anywhere between 50 and 95%. We are the only plastic surgery office in South Florida utilizing two board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons and one of the few in the United States to treat keloids using xrt or radiation technology to give proven lower recurrence rates

A Keloid is an abnormal way of healing in which collagen, the main component of scars, is produced much more than in a normal scar. It is secondary to an overly aggressive response to wound healing. Therefore, it tends to be an overgrowth that is wider than the original wound boundaries and prominent towards the outside.
At The Keloid Plastic Surgery Center, keloids are what we do.

The Keloid Plastic Surgery Center was established because as board certified plastic surgeons we are very well aware of the fact that keloids can harm not only your quality of life but also your self-esteem. Being plastic and reconstructive surgeons we have treated patients and have had previous surgical as well as non-surgical treatments for their keloids so don't be discouraged from failure in the past. Here at the Keloid Plastic Surgery Center we will come up with an individualized plan of treatment for you where we are going to be using the latest xrt technology for the treatment of keloid scars with proven lower recurrence rates. Your health insurance might cover the entire cost of the treatment, for your convenience we speak Spanish, English, French, and Creole
