Keloid Removal Before & After Case 267

This patient chose keloid removal in Santa Rosa due to the presence of a round, raised scar on her ear near the lobe. The keloid had developed over time and became a prominent cosmetic concern. She expressed that the appearance of this scar affected her confidence, especially since it was difficult to conceal with hair or accessories.

During her procedure, the patient underwent surgical excision, where Dr. Greg Chernoff carefully removed the keloid tissue. He then restructured the ear lobe to restore its natural shape and symmetry. The approach focused on minimizing the risk of recurrence and optimizing the visual outcome. Recovery involved standard aftercare recommendations, and follow-up visits were scheduled to support healing and monitor for new scar tissue.

The results shown in the above photos reveal a significantly improved appearance of the affected ear. The ear lobe now closely matches the patient’s natural anatomy, with no visible signs of the previous keloid. The patient reported satisfaction with both the comfort during the healing period and the final cosmetic outcome.

Dr. Chernoff brings extensive training and board certification to keloid removal in Santa Rosa. His background in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, combined with careful technique, allows for individualized treatment plans. Patients seeking care for keloid scars can benefit from Dr. Chernoff’s focused approach to ear reconstruction and scar management.
