Shoulder Keloid Removal · Los Angeles
Treating Large Shoulder Keloids in Los Angeles
The shoulder and chest are among the most common and most difficult areas for keloid formation. Skin tension in these regions is high, and standard removal without specialized closure techniques leads to frequent regrowth. Large shoulder keloids cause pain, itching, restricted movement, and significant cosmetic distress.
Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian at Kare Plastic Surgery removes large shoulder keloids using deep tissue tension control, a multilayer closure approach that keeps the surface skin relaxed and significantly reduces the mechanical forces that drive keloid recurrence. See our keloid removal surgery page and keloid treatment center. Call (310) 998-5533.
Surgical Techniques for Shoulder and Chest Keloids
Deep Tissue Tension Control
Deep absorbable sutures hold the wound together from within, removing tension from the skin surface. This is the most important factor in preventing keloid regrowth in high-tension body areas like the shoulder.
Multilayer Specialized Closure
The wound is closed in multiple layers with sutures matched to each tissue depth. This distributes healing forces evenly and prevents the concentrated tension that causes keloids to reform after excision.
Adjunctive Treatments
Surgery is combined with postoperative protocols including steroid injection, pressure therapy, and silicone sheeting to further suppress keloid tissue regrowth in the weeks following removal.
Dual Board Certification Advantage
Dr. Karamanoukian's dual board certification in plastic surgery provides deep expertise in wound closure mechanics, scar biology, and the anatomy of high-tension body areas including the shoulder, chest, and upper back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do shoulder keloids grow so large?
The shoulder is a high-tension area where skin is constantly pulled by movement. This tension stimulates overactive scar tissue and allows keloids to grow beyond the original wound. Standard removal without specialized closure leads to frequent regrowth. Dr. Karamanoukian uses deep tissue tension control and multilayer closures to address this. Call (310) 998-5533.
What is deep tissue tension control and why does it reduce keloid recurrence?
Deep tissue tension control places absorbable sutures within the tissue layers to hold the wound together from inside, so the outer skin closes under minimal tension. Because surface tension is a primary driver of keloid regrowth on the shoulder and chest, removing it is essential to a durable result. Dr. Karamanoukian combines this with postoperative adjunctive therapy. Call (310) 998-5533.
