Abstract
Hypertrophic scar is a fibropathogenic disorder characterized as an elevated area compared with normal tissue, with swelling, and reddish and hardened as a result of collagen accumulation. A 40-year-old man complaining of upper lip discomfort, with swelling and hardened spots, presented at our service. He reported previous trauma in the region. Excision and coagulation, followed by ablation, were made by using the diode laser, with 808 nm ± 10 nm wavelength and progressive power of 2500, 3500, and 4000 mW and 697, 36198, and 9750 J energy deposited, respectively, with 21 minutes and 15 seconds of surgery and 20 minutes and 6 seconds of incision in the pulsate mode of 20 pps. The final diagnosis of fibrous hyperplasia was obtained from the oral pathology service. After the scar was excised, the patient reported feeling better; he had no discomfort and had stopped biting his lip. In the postoperative period, there were no signs of recurrence. Support: FAPEMIG.
