About Plastic Surgery Laceration Repair
Patients ask all the time…. Is there a different between a plastic surgeon repair and that of an emergency room doctor? The answer is often “yes”. That’s because of several factors, including the experience to gauge how something may turn out. Sometimes finer sutures are needed, sometimes layered sutures are needed, whereas sometimes not. Sometimes, wound edges and skin need to be trimmed, but other times doing so may be a problem. Positive outcomes are derived from proper care as well as setting proper expectations. Dr. Richard Tepper will gladly review treatment choices, to help you make the best-informed decision about your own care.
Recovery
Dr. Richard Tepper will guide you through the healing process, beginning with early care, suture removal, early scar maturation and longer-term scar strategies, all designed for optimal blending of the scar.
