Resumo
Hypertrophic scar is a fibropathogenic disorder character ized 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 swell ing and hardened spots, presented at our service. He reported
previous trauma in the region. Excision and coagulation, fol lowed 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, re spectively, 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 re ported feeling better; he had no discomfort and had stopped biting
his lip. In the postoperative period, there were no signs of recurrence.
