With Dr. Jones’ specialized keloid removal techniques, our patients experience over a 95% success rate in which the keloid does not reoccur. All of our doctors are trained in Dr. Jones’ method of removing keloid scars.
Every patient has a unique journey. Discover real experiences from people who trusted Doctor Keloid with their care and transformation.
It all started with a childhood case of chicken pox, recalls Keenan’s mother, Madeline. A small keloid scar was left behind, which a doctor removed—only for the scar to return, larger and more spread out. “Each time they were removed, they came back even bigger and more grotesque,” Keenan says.
The keloids not only affected his self-esteem, but also his daily life. Keenan struggled with discomfort, often unable to sleep, and carried a towel to manage the blood and pus they would sometimes ooze. In 2015, he appeared on The Doctors to share his story, and Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Jones volunteered to help. Dr. Jones performed two surgeries to remove the keloids, one on each side of Keenan’s face. The procedure was more complex than expected, with the keloids embedded in a thick sheet of scar tissue, putting Keenan’s facial nerves at risk. But after the surgery, Dr. Jones was able to tell Madeline, “Everything went great! The keloids are gone.”
Following the surgeries, Keenan’s life took a remarkable turn. “I’ll say this—not to break any hearts—but I’m newly engaged!” Keenan shared. “I can honestly say, the person I’m engaged to saw me for who I really am. She didn’t focus on my appearance—she looked at my heart.”
Keenan went on to marry his fiancée, and now lives a life with far fewer concerns about his appearance. With smooth, clear skin and a renewed sense of confidence, he has embraced a new chapter with an improved quality of life, free from the limitations of his keloids.
You’ll meet your doctor, review any x-rays or scans together, and talk through the procedure in plain terms. This is the time to ask questions — nothing moves forward until you’re comfortable with the plan.
We’ll send clear instructions beforehand — what to eat or avoid, which medications to pause, and whether sedation is recommended. If sedation is used, arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
After check-in, your doctor administers anesthesia and walks you through each step as it happens. Most procedures take between 45 minutes and two hours, and comfort checks continue throughout.
You’ll rest in a monitored recovery area until your sedation wears off. Before you leave, we review aftercare instructions with you and whoever’s driving you home.
Mild soreness or swelling is normal for a few days. We’ll schedule a follow-up to check healing, and you can call anytime before then if something feels off.
Our patients share real stories of care, recovery, and trust — each one reflecting our dedication to compassionate service and exceptional medical excellence.
Our physicians stand out not only for their skill and experience but also for the warmth and compassion that define every patient interaction.
