Overview

Case report reveals surgery combined with superficial radiotherapy improves facial scar outcomes, suggesting effective treatment for hypertrophic scars.

Key Points

  • Successful treatment restored normal appearance of the facial scar after surgery and superficial radiotherapy, with no adverse reactions observed.
  • After superficial radiotherapy, the patient's facial scar flattened gradually, improving the overall skin appearance over a one-year follow-up.
  • Surgery was initially performed for a disfiguring facial scar caused by burns, but recurrence prompted the addition of superficial radiotherapy.
  • These results indicate superficial radiotherapy may reshape the wound repair process, enhancing treatment effectiveness for hypertrophic scars.
