Say Goodbye to Painful Flare-Ups—Discover Your Path to Relief

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful abscesses and scarring in areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, and under the breasts. For many patients, HS is more than just a skin condition—it disrupts daily life, causes pain, and leads to infections that impact overall health and well-being.

At The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction, we specialize in advanced surgical care for hidradenitis suppurativa, helping patients achieve relief when other treatments have failed. Dr. Hamid Abdollahi and our expert surgical team use leading-edge microsurgical techniques to remove diseased tissue and prevent recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions About HS Surgery

When is surgery necessary for HS?

Surgery is recommended for patients with severe, recurring HS that does not improve with conservative treatments like antibiotics or biologics. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing chronic abscesses, tunneling, or significant pain.

What is the recovery process like?

Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure. Healing may take several weeks to months, with careful wound management required. Some patients may need skin grafting or secondary healing techniques.

Will my HS come back after surgery?

While surgery significantly reduces symptoms, HS is a chronic condition, and flare-ups may still occur in untreated areas. Proper post-surgical care and management can help prevent recurrence.

Is HS surgery covered by insurance?

Most major insurance providers cover HS surgery when it is medically necessary. Our team can help verify coverage and obtain pre-authorization.
