Keloid Removal · Ocala, Florida
Keloid Removal in Ocala
Keloid treatment at our Ocala office starts with an honest look at your scar and, when it calls for more than an injection, the backing of the practice's board-certified surgical credentials.
Credentials and Candour
A Straight Answer About Your Keloid
A keloid is scar tissue that overgrows the wound that made it: after a piercing, injury, acne breakout, tattoo, or incision has closed, the skin keeps laying down collagen and the scar spreads past the original site. It favors the ear, chest, upper back, jawline, and shoulder, runs in families, and shows up more often on Black, Asian, Latin American, and Mediterranean skin. An estimated 11 million people have one; the AAD's keloids overview covers the basics.
Keloid care sits closer to surgical territory than most med spa work. Ours is the one Arviv office whose Google profile carries the Plastic surgeon category, naming Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. That standing shapes how your scar gets read, whether the answer is a Kenalog injection, an excision, or something staged between the two. Nothing goes on the schedule until someone has seen the scar in person, the same first look we give earlobe repair and mole removal guests. Dr. Tali Arviv, MD established the practice in 2014 on that habit.

What to Expect
How a Keloid Gets Evaluated Here
Four steps, from first look to written plan.
The Consult Comes First
Every keloid case starts with a real look at the scar and a plain conversation about what a treatment plan can and cannot promise.
A Read Backed by Surgical Credentials
The practice’s board-certified surgical standing informs how a case gets sized up, especially when a keloid is large, deep, or has already returned once.
The Starting Point Depends on the Scar
Smaller or newer keloids often start with a Kenalog injection. Larger or recurring ones may call for excision, decided at consult rather than assumed in advance.
A Plan That Names Recurrence Up Front
If a keloid is the kind that tends to come back, you hear it from us before any treatment starts.
Injection or Excision
Am I the Right Candidate?
A keloid outgrows the wound that started it, and this office has two places to begin, a Kenalog injection or excision. Which applies is settled once somebody has seen the scar.
Scars This Office Takes On
- The scar has spread past the piercing or the injury behind it.
- One has been treated before, it came back, and you want a plan that expects that.
- Beginning with the least aggressive thing that could work suits you better than a scalpel first.
- A large or deep scar makes you want surgical standing behind whoever sizes it up.
The Part Nobody Should Soften
- These recur. Anybody promising otherwise is overselling, and the plan is written expecting it.
- Cutting one out can provoke regrowth, which is why an injection usually comes first for a smaller or newer scar.
- A scar that is large, deep, or already back once gets sized up differently, and that is where surgical standing earns its place.
- Your skin type, your family history, and the site on your body all shape how this behaves.
An injection series and an excision are different jobs with different costs, and both get walked through once the scar has been seen. Book a consult in Ocala for the honest read.

In Their Words
What Arviv Guests Say About Minor Procedures
No review of our Ocala office names keloid removal, though a guest at another of our Florida offices describes a keloid taken off an ear. A keloid plan is decided at the consult in any case, because how your skin scarred last time is the input that matters, and that conversation is the same at all three addresses. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“I had an excellent experience with Dr. Martin for the removal of a keloid on my ear. … My ear looks significantly better, and the improvement in both appearance and comfort has been amazing.”
“I would like to take the time and express how thankful I am with the service I received. Samantha took the time and answered all the questions I had. She was very gentle and kind. I will definitely return.”
“I highly recommend Medical Arviv. Uncompromising service and quality, personal and good treatment, highly professional staff with the latest equipment. Everyone who receives treatment at this place wins.”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What credentials back keloid treatment at this office?
Our Ocala listing carries the Plastic surgeon category and names Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. That standing shapes how a keloid case is evaluated here. It is the practice’s standing, not a promise of which team member you will see.
What actually happens at a keloid consultation?
We look at the scar’s size, site, and history, ask what has been tried on it before, and talk through the honest range of outcomes before any plan is set. Ocala reviews praise the visit itself, and a scar consult is where that earns its keep.
What does keloid removal cost in Ocala?
An injection series and an excision are different jobs, so cost is walked through at your consult, once someone has seen the scar. Flexible financing is available when a plan runs longer than a single visit.
Do keloids come back after treatment?
Often enough that we say so plainly rather than let you assume one treatment settles it. A plan that accounts for recurrence up front, through follow-up or a combination, holds better than one that does not.
