Benefits

Closure by a specialist.

Dr. Eberle’s renowned expertise in scar outcomes is rooted in a simple fact: the best results come from expert wound closure at the time the wound occurs. While many ER physicians are capable of wound closure, a plastic surgeon is a wound-closure expert and gives patients the best possible outcome from the onset of care.

Candidacy

Every laceration scars.

All lacerations heal with scars, and the degree of scarring is influenced by your personal history of excessive (keloid) scarring, the location, type, and size of the wound, and the skill of your doctor. If you have suffered a traumatic wound or other laceration, Dr. Eberle can offer a solution that is exactly right for your needs.

The Procedure

How involved is the procedure?

How involved your procedure will be depends on your unique case and the factors involved, including the extent and depth of the wound. Dr. Eberle takes a very customized, personalized approach.

For routine, straightforward lacerations, repairs may simply involve the skin. For more involved wounds, where multiple layers of tissue are injured, a layered closure may be needed to reapproximate the different layers of tissue and to close up dead space to avoid hematomas or fluid collections.

Recovery

How long is recovery?

Recovery depends on the exact nature of the laceration repair and other factors involved in your healing process. Dr. Eberle will discuss your healing process with you, give you precise instructions for wound care, and walk you through what to expect at every step.

Pricing

How much does laceration repair cost?

The exact price of your laceration repair will depend on the size and nature of your needs, in addition to other considerations related to your surgical plan. Financing is available.
