Findings:

  • Surgical revision combined with steroid medication resulted in satisfying outcomes for the presented keloid cases.
  • Highlights the importance of considering surgical history when planning cosmetic procedures.

Implications:

  • Informs patients and clinicians about the unpredictable nature of keloids.
  • Suggests surgical revision and steroid therapy as a viable treatment option.
  • Recommends avoiding cosmetic surgery in individuals with a history of keloid formation.
